2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · NG55 ANV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The final MOT test conducted on 12 August 2022 at 88,684 miles was a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just two days prior on 10 August 2022 at 88,673 miles, which also showed no defects, suggesting a minor administrative or presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,434 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 79,873 miles and the August 2022 test at 88,684 miles, the car covered 8,811 miles in a single year, which is significantly above its lifetime average. However, there have been no recorded tests for the last four years, indicating the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and low-mileage neglect. While the MOT history is clean of mechanical failures, the long gap in testing increases the risk of perished brake hoses, degraded suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers. Inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this generation of Focus regardless of mileage. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking resulting from long-term storage.
