2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · MD06 CJX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 28 July 2025 at 69,047 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the minimum standards despite occasional testing failures. While the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2025, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to ensure the vehicle remains legal for road. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,450 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the July 2024 test at 56,077 miles and the 2025 test at 69,047 miles, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. This sporadic usage suggests low wear on drivetrain components, but also increases the risk of age-related rubber-based failures and seals, which often dry out or crack during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage cars of this era are prone to corrosion in sills and rear wheel arches. Although the record does not list specific mechanical failures, the recurring test failures indicate that minor items like bulbs, wipers, or emissions may require frequent attention. Given the age of the Ford Focus, verify the brake discs for pitting and check the condition of the suspension bushes, as these components degrade over time regardless of the mileage driven.
