2006 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · FN06 VMG

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 21 October 2025 at 120,367 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The DVSA data shows no defects or advisories at any stage, and the latest test cleared the car cleanly roughly eight months before the current date. A prior failure on the same day with no recorded defects suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle subsequently passed without correction. Annual mileage sits at approximately 6,018 miles against a 20-year lifespan, which is typical for the age and points to light-to-moderate use. The record shows 110,900 miles on 25 November 2022, rising to 110,903 by 6 December 2022 after a failed-then-passed sequence, then 119,209 at the December 2023 test and 120,367 by October 2025. The gap between December 2023 and October 2025 covered only 1,158 miles, indicating the car stood largely idle or covered very short local journeys in that period. Given the absence of flagged items across every entry, the history implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing in order but the clean sheets should not be read as proof of component condition. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation given the low recent use. Standing time over the last twenty months raises the risk of perished rubber, flat-spotted tyres, and seized handbrake mechanisms despite the clear MOT. Verify the actual October 2025 failure reason with DVSA, confirm service history independently, and commission a pre-purchase inspection of exhaust emissions and underbody before completion.
