2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG06 YMP

This 2006 Ford Focus demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy according to its most recent MOT. The vehicle passed its latest inspection on 9 June 2025 at 166,029 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the odometer rose from 146,856 miles to 166,029 miles, representing an average annual increase of roughly 6,700 miles. There are no erratic jumps or suspicious gaps in the record. A brief failure on 8 June 2023 was resolved within twenty-four hours, as the car passed the following day at 156,362 miles. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must still verify the condition of common wear points for a twenty-year-old chassis. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, but structural rust often develops in sills and suspension mounting points on this model without being flagged until it becomes critical. A physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade over 166,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for brake disc lip wear and the condition of the engine mounts is also advisable. While the tester flagged no defects in the 2024 and 2025 tests, the absence of advisories on a high-mileage vehicle can sometimes indicate a lenient tester rather than a perfect mechanical state. Verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential to ensure the engine's long-term reliability.
