2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CU06 WXC

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 14 April 2025 at 74,247 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the full five-year span. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 74,247 at the 2025 test reflects low annual use for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,712 miles per year. The records show steady, light accumulation: 46,397 miles in February 2022, 55,016 in February 2023, 68,317 in March 2024, and 74,247 by April 2025. No gaps or sudden surges appear. The clean sheet across every entry indicates the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though sparse commentary means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or tired brake discs could sit undetected between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low mileage and long standing periods often mask structural corrosion on sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points that a pass with no defects will not capture. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust issues, yet rubber components such as drop links and engine mounts degrade with age regardless of miles travelled. Verify the April 2025 failure reason via DVSA channels given the zero-defect anomaly. Confirm brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall condition, and coil spring integrity in person before purchase, as the MOT record alone offers no insight into consumable wear or hidden fatigue on this aged Focus.
