2006 Ford Focus 1.4L Petrol · KC06 SMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes recently. The most recent test conducted on 14 March 2026 at 108,681 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a three-year streak of perfect results. While a failure was noted on the 21 March 2023 entry, the immediate pass on the same day indicates that the owner was proactive in rectifying any identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,434 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 14,942 miles, showing a consistent annual usage of roughly 5,000 miles during the most recent period. This low-intensity usage typically suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average examples. However, low mileage on vehicles of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown which are not reflected in mileage alone. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system. Given the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage, the buyer must check for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points which are common areas for Focus models. The tester should also inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance mileage driven. While the MOT record shows no recent brake issues, a check for binding calipers or disc corrosion ensures the system has not seized during long periods of inactivity.
