2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · LS06 TSY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on five consecutive years of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 25 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, maintaining a trend of consistent mechanical compliance over several years. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate safety or environmental failures during the annual inspection process. The mileage data indicates low to moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. Between September 2021 at 67,730 miles and September 2024 at 74,373 miles, the car covered 6,943 miles over three years, averaging approximately 2,314 miles per annum. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows even lower usage, suggesting the vehicle is likely used for short-distance trips or sits stationary. This low mileage often means less wear on components like engine internals and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. Despite the clean history, a physical inspection must focus on the common failure points of a 2006 Ford Focus. The buyer should examine the structural integrity of the rear sills and floor pans for corrosion, as the MOT tester only flags structural-related rust once it becomes significant. Inspect the front suspension wisharms and rubber bushes for tearing or cracking, which can degrade through age regardless of mileage. Given the low annual mileage, also check for brake fluid moisture ingress and seized calipers, as these frequently occur when vehicles are not driven for long periods.
