2006 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · OO05 ADF

The 2006 Ford Focus presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 15 August 2025 at 98,520 miles, roughly eleven months prior to today, returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with consecutive annual passes from September 2023 through August 2025 showing clean sheets. The earlier 25 February 2022 entry shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 86,919 miles with no defects logged, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage of 98,520 against a twenty-year lifespan equates to a low average of roughly 4,926 miles per year. The odometer advanced moderately between tests: 86,919 in February 2022, 89,775 by September 2023, 94,531 by September 2024, and 98,520 by August 2025. A notable gap exists between the February 2022 and September 2023 examinations, spanning nineteen months, yet the mileage increase of only 2,856 miles in that period confirms light use. Sparse but clean records imply the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though the lack of advisories across older tests may reflect lenient inspection rather than exhaustive component health. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT sheets may not flag when dormant. Low annual mileage and probable periods of standing elevate risk of corrosion on structural members, suspension bushes perishing, and brake calipers binding through lack of use. The tester recorded no advisories on exhaust emissions, tyres, or wipers, but rubber and metal fatigue on a 2006 chassis demands hands-on checks of coil springs, subframe integrity, and brake disc condition. Verify the 2022 duplicate entry with DVSA documentation to confirm no suppressed defect.
