2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FH56 CCZ

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 81,659 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 81,659 against a 20-year lifespan equates to roughly 4,083 miles per year, marking this as a low-use vehicle for its age. Annual increments stay consistent and modest: the tester logged 72,752 miles on 3 January 2024, 77,389 on 2 January 2025, and 81,659 on 5 January 2026. A single anomaly appears on 16 December 2022, where the system shows both a fail and a pass at the identical 65,566 miles on the same day, with no defects cited in either entry. This suggests an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and no further gaps or sudden accumulation occur thereafter. Given the absence of any advisories across the record, the previous keeper clearly maintained the car to a standard that satisfied examiners without flagged wear to tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. The clean sheet offers no recurring faults to track, though a vehicle of this age and low standing mileage still warrants a physical inspection of structural integrity for hidden corrosion and of brake discs and calipers for seizing after periods of disuse. A buyer should commission an independent underside check for chassis rust and verify the condition of consumable items not captured by the MOT, such as fluid intervals and cambelt history. The documentary evidence alone supports a sound purchase premise, but the 2022 dual-entry oddity justifies confirming with the seller that no suppressed defect preceded that December clearance.
