2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Diesel · MF56 OYH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 15 December 2025 at 118,013 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this vintage. The mileage is low for a 2006 model, averaging roughly 5,901 miles per year. The distance covered between 13 December 2023 (104,677 miles) and 15 December 2025 (118,013 miles) shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,600 miles per annum. This suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which typically helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. While the MOT record is clean, the absence of any advisories over several years on a twenty year old Ford Focus is unusual. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as surface rust does not always trigger a failure unless it compromises structural integrity. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often perish due to age regardless of low mileage. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly. Since the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the primary risks are age-related wear on consumables and potential hidden corrosion. A manual check of the brake pedal feel and a visual inspection of the brake discs for pitting will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained to the standard the clean MOT record suggests.
