2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · JR02 CUT

The 2006 Ford Focus demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as the most recent MOT on 29 August 2025 at 112,104 miles recorded a pass with no defects, continuing a pattern of clean results from the 28 August 2024 test at 109,451 miles, the 29 June 2023 test at 104,363 miles, and the 27 June 2022 test at 99,270 miles, the only exception being a failed entry on 27 June 2022 at 99,261 miles that was subsequently passed after a retest with no defects recorded. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 112,104 at 20 years old translates to an average of roughly 5,600 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments between tests are modest, with an increase of 5,093 miles between the 27 June 2022 and 29 June 2023 tests, and a further 7,791 miles by the 28 August 2024 test, confirming a steady but not rapid accumulation. Given the car's age, a buyer should pay close attention to the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which often deteriorate on high‑kilometre examples, and verify the integrity of brake discs and calipers, especially since the 2022 FAIL entry noted no defects after a retest, suggesting previous brake wear may have been addressed but not eliminated. Structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as well as exhaust system corrosion, should be examined, as these components are prone to age‑related failure even when MOTs show no defects. An independent mechanical inspection focusing on these items will confirm whether the vehicle remains fit for continued use.
