2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · CK56 EWO

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT record. The last test on 28 February 2024 resulted in a failure at 108,799 miles. While the record shows a pattern of passing shortly after initial failures in 2022 and 2023, the car has not successfully passed an inspection in over two years. This indicates a stagnant maintenance trend where the vehicle has been left in a failed state. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty year old Ford Focus, averaging roughly 5,440 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2024, the odometer moved only 1,733 miles. This low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary. Vehicles that sit idle often develop secondary issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, and battery degradation. A physical inspection must prioritise the chassis and suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recent successful tests, structural corrosion is a high risk. The buyer should specifically check for rust on the sills and suspension mounting points. The brakes and tyres require close scrutiny. Long periods of inactivity often lead to brake disc corrosion or binding calipers. Because the MOT history is unusually clean of specific defects despite multiple failures, it is possible the failures related to emissions or lighting, but the lack of detailed data means a full mechanical audit of the drivetrain and steering rack is necessary before purchase.
