2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · FP06 VWR

The 2006 Ford Focus presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 17 October 2022 at 108,504 miles, where the tester logged no defects. Prior to that, the 12 October 2021 test at 104,724 miles also passed with no advisories. The only blemish is a failure on 29 September 2021 at 104,662 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed against that failure, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. The mileage pattern indicates very light use for a twenty-year-old vehicle. From 29 September 2021 to 17 October 2022 the car covered just 3,842 miles, and the full recorded span shows roughly 5,425 miles per year against its age. The gap between the 2021 failure and the 2022 pass is narrow, with only one interim entry, so the history is sparse but consistently clean apart from the unexplained fail. Low annual mileage of this kind often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record does not confirm freedom from rust beyond the test dates. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically checked for deterioration linked to standing rather than wear. The absence of advisories on the two passes means no recurring mechanical trend is evident, but the 2021 failure with no defects recorded warrants verification of its cause through the original test centre documentation.
