2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · CV06 WSN

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 16 May 2025 at 73,388 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test showed no defects, and prior annual examinations returned clean results once the vehicle cleared its initial failure on the same day. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the DVSA data. Recorded mileage stands at 73,388 against an age of nearly twenty years, equating to a low average of around 3,669 miles per year. The car gained just 1,211 miles between the May 2023 test at 71,081 miles and the May 2024 test at 72,272 miles, then only 1,116 miles to the May 2025 pass. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which commonly allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The repeated same-day failures in May 2024 and May 2025, both with no defects recorded, point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding mechanical faults. The owner cleared the failures and secured passes at identical mileages without listed advisories, implying the car was not driven between attempts. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and underbody structural integrity given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time accelerates rust on sills and subframes while tyres and wiper blades may crack through disuse. The clean MOT record offers no reassurance on these points, as the tests logged no advisories on any date.
