2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DA55 GSY

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy on the strength of its most recent test. The September 2024 MOT at 122,249 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the available history. Two earlier failures in 2022 and 2023 were logged with no defects stated by the tester, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 122,249 against an age of nearly twenty years, equating to roughly 6,100 miles per year and typical for the model. The October 2022 test at 115,403 miles and the October 2023 pass at 120,029 miles show gentle annual accumulation. A minor anomaly appears in late September 2023, when the car failed at 120,011 miles before passing five days later at 120,029 miles, indicating a quick re-test rather than any significant use. The absence of advisories across every entry means the official record shows no flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside rust, flexible brake hoses, and exhaust emissions given the vehicle's age and the sparse diagnostic detail in the MOT data. Previous owners appear to have kept the Focus lightly used and consistently tested, with no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or neglected mechanical care. The clean recent pass supports a sound used purchase, provided a physical check confirms the tester recorded no hidden age-related deterioration.
