2006 Ford Focus C-MAX 2.0L Diesel · LS06 ACY

The 2006 Ford Focus C-MAX presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 7 November 2025 at 121,548 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history reveals a peculiar pattern of immediate pass-fail cycles that warrants scrutiny rather than reassurance. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 6,077 miles per year for a twenty-year-old vehicle, rising from 109,915 miles at the October 2023 test to 117,897 by November 2024 and 121,548 by November 2025. The record shows no large gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. What stands out is the duplicated test entries on 8 November 2024 and 5 to 7 November 2025, where the car failed and passed on the same day at near-identical mileages with no defects listed on either attempt. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to confirm the DVSA entries reflect genuine mechanical condition rather than administrative anomalies. The absence of recorded advisories across all five tests is unusual for a Ford of this age and mileage, where suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc corrosion typically surface. Previous owners may have addressed minor wear privately or the tester may have omitted advisories. Given the clean but irregular record, verify structural integrity underneath for rust, check the braking system for binding calipers or worn pads, and examine the exhaust for emissions compliance during a cold start. The same-day fail-pass cycles suggest the car was presented for rectification quickly, implying basic upkeep was maintained despite the odd paperwork.
