2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG06 ADU

The 2006 Ford Focus presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 17 January 2024 at 147,236 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test on the same date and mileage appears anomalous, as the DVSA entry logs no defects; this suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2023 at 136,896 miles and January 2022 at 121,420 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no escalating wear or recurring advisory pattern across the recorded history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,362 miles per year against the 147,236 miles recorded. The jump from 116,440 miles on 8 September 2021 to 121,420 miles by 19 January 2022 shows light use of about 4,980 miles in four months, then steadier annual increments of 15,476 and 10,340 miles. The record is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history records no advisories but does not confirm absence of age-related rust on a 2006 chassis. The clean pass sequence implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, yet the identical-mileage pass and fail on 17 January 2024 warrants verification of the V5C and DVSA status to rule out clerical error. Given the lack of flagged mechanical faults, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and binding calipers through a road test, since these consumables fall outside the sparse test record. The vehicle's maintenance pattern shows no worsening trend, but twenty years of service demands hands-on checks absent from the official data.
