2006 Ford Focus C-MAX 2.0L Petrol · FP06 WTG

The 2006 Ford Focus C-Max presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 135,048 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The vehicle passed cleanly again on 20 June 2024 at 129,719 miles. Prior to those passes, the car failed on 19 June 2024 at 129,715 miles and on 21 June 2023 at 125,431 miles, yet both failure entries list no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies in the MOT system rather than mechanical faults, as the subsequent retests one day later passed with identical mileages. The recorded mileage shows typical use for a 20-year-old vehicle. From the 22 June 2023 test at 125,431 miles to the 20 June 2024 test at 129,719 miles, the owner covered 4,288 miles in twelve months. By 17 June 2025 the odometer read 135,048 miles, adding 5,329 miles over the following year. The annual averages sit near the 6,752 miles-per-year lifetime norm, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The sparse record gives little insight into consumable replacement cycles, though the clean advisories imply tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes met limits at each presentation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, as the MOT history shows no advisories yet the chassis is two decades old. The front coil springs, subframe mounts, and exhaust emissions hardware warrant close checks for age-related fatigue not captured by pass results. The brake calipers and handbrake mechanism should be tested for binding given the repeated one-day fail-retest cycle in 2023 and 2024. The absence of recorded defects across five tests indicates previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standard, but the twin fail-retest pairs hint at lax scheduling rather than neglect of repairs. Verify service invoices to confirm timing belts and transmission fluid were changed, since the MOT data alone cannot evidence such upkeep on a high-mileage C-Max.
