2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · FM06 BYZ

The 2006 Ford Focus shows a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT on 25 July 2024 at 143,578 miles, and the maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record. The most recent pass followed a same-day failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a clear administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly on 1 September 2023 at 131,800 miles after a failed entry on 31 August 2023 at 131,796 miles, again with no defects noted. These paired fail-pass entries on adjacent dates suggest clerical or process errors at the testing station, not worsening vehicle condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,179 miles based on the 143,578 recorded miles against twenty years of age, which is typical use for a Focus of this period. The gap between the 29 July 2022 test at 119,132 miles and the 1 September 2023 test at 131,800 miles shows about 12,668 miles added in thirteen months, a normal accumulation rate. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or defects ever listed across the three examination years supplied, so no wear-driven consumable or structural concerns appear in the data itself. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and 143,578 miles, as the MOT history offers no visibility of latent wear the tests did not capture. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close checking, since a 2006 vehicle can hide rust absent from a pass certificate. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs at 131,796 and 143,578 miles imply the prior owner tolerated test centre confusion without contest, but no skipped upkeep shows in the defect columns. Treat the clean record as a positive baseline rather than proof of condition. Verify the V5C matches the mileage steps and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls on the chassis. The absence of advisories across four tests signals either diligent pre-test preparation or light examiner scrutiny, so independent confirmation of tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions remains sensible before purchase.
