2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG06 AEW

The 2006 Ford Focus presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following its most recent test cycle. On 24 December 2025 at 144,200 miles the vehicle first failed and then passed on the same day with no defects recorded, indicating a likely administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests on 27 December 2024 at 143,644 miles, 18 December 2023 at 137,601 miles, and 13 December 2022 at 132,315 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent annual compliance over the last three years. The recorded mileage sits at 144,200 against an approximate twenty-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,210 miles per year which is typical for the age. The annual increments are modest: 5,286 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 5,043 between 2023 and 2024, and only 556 miles from December 2024 to December 2025. Such low recent use suggests the car stood largely idle in 2025, which can promote perished rubber components and seized brake calipers despite the clean record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the prolonged 2025 lay-up. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet standing vehicles commonly develop binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres unseen by the tester. Verify exhaust emissions and underbody condition in person before purchase.
