2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · P9 OPN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent recorded data. The final test conducted on 4 January 2022 at 130,842 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car met minimum legal standards at that time. However, because no MOT has been recorded for the past four years, the current roadworthiness status is unverified. This significant gap in testing suggests the vehicle may have been off the road or the owner has neglected the annual safety inspections for several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression from 115,021 miles in June 2019 to 120,134 miles in January 2021, eventually reaching 130,842 miles by early 2022. This low annual mileage suggests light use, which typically preserves drivetrain components and engine internals, but also increases the risk of age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, dried seals, and brake caliper corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT history provides no data on these areas for several years. Check for significant corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, which are common failure points on this generation of Focus. Given the four-year lapse since the last test, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or rusted pistons and examine the tyres for cracking. The lack of recent records means any mechanical failures or perished suspension bushes have likely gone undetected until the present.
