2006 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · AJ06 VMX

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 106,883 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage sits well below typical for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The record shows 78,386 miles in July 2021, rising to 80,642 by July 2022, 88,171 by July 2023, 96,037 by July 2024, and 106,883 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 5,300 miles per year, confirming light use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear between tests; the DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean, with zero advisories across the period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear history. Low annual mileage combined with a vehicle of this age often masks standing corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points that a stationary car develops out of sight. The tester logged no structural or mechanical faults, yet absent advisories do not confirm component condition. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation rather than wear. Verify the exhaust emissions system and confirm tyres, though unflagged, have adequate tread and sidewall condition after years of light running. The record implies a careful keeper, but an independent underside check remains prudent before purchase.
