2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · DX06 VUE

The most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 69,859 miles recorded a pass, confirming the vehicle satisfies the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that point. The concurrent fail entry on the same date, with no defects listed, indicates a provisional failure that was remedied before re‑testing, and no recurring fault appears in the record. The maintenance trend therefore appears stable. Across the five‑year span the odometer rose from 26,473 miles in September 2022 to 69,859 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 14,000 miles per annum, well below the typical usage for a 20‑year‑old model. The incremental increases are regular and there are no unexplained gaps, implying consistent, moderate use rather than prolonged storage. A prospective purchaser should verify the condition of the suspension components, particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as mileage accumulation can conceal wear. Brake discs and pads merit inspection for thickness and any signs of uneven wear, given the vehicle’s age. Tyre tread depth and uniformity must be checked, and a visual survey for surface rust or corrosion on the chassis and under‑body should be performed, especially where low‑usage vehicles sometimes develop hidden deterioration.
