2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FM06 BLK

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 90,600 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 3 January 2025 at 89,552 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has cleared every assessment for over two years with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Recorded mileage sits at 90,600 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,530 miles per year. The history shows light annual use: 87,948 miles on 19 December 2023, rising to 87,973 three days later, then 89,533 at the 3 January 2025 failure, 89,552 on the same-day retest, and 90,600 by January 2026. Low yearly accumulation implies minimal drivetrain strain, though extended standing periods common with such usage can age tyres, seals, and brake calipers without high-mileage wear. Two failed tests on 19 December 2023 and 3 January 2025 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentational faults rather than mechanical failure, with immediate passes following retest. The owner corrected the issues without delay. No recurring structural or mechanical faults appear across the sequence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and binding calipers given the car's age and low-use profile. Verify tyre sidewall condition and check for seized handbrake mechanisms from inactivity. The DVSA record alone shows no active concerns, but 20-year-old Ford chassis components warrant hands-on verification before purchase.
