2006 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · D8 DLU

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 48,292 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or failures appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded period. Mileage stands at 48,292 against an age of nearly twenty years, equating to roughly 2,415 miles per year. The record shows 40,150 miles at the 6 May 2022 test, rising to 44,620 by 19 May 2023, 45,610 by 24 May 2024, and 48,292 by May 2025. Annual accumulation stays between 2,470 and 4,470 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. The sparse, clean record gives little basis to suspect deferred consumable replacement, though long standing periods implied by low use remain unverifiable from the data alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural concerns, but twenty-year-old Ford chassis commonly develop rust at sills and subframes unseen in a pass test. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables fall outside the recorded defects yet degrade with time regardless of mileage. The absence of recorded advisories suggests previous owners addressed wear before each test or the car saw gentle use. Given low annual mileage, check for perished rubber components and fluid degradation from inactivity rather than mechanical fatigue. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent despite the unbroken pass record.
