2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · PJ56 KAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 100,878 miles resulted in an initial failure due to multiple lighting defects and tyre wear. While the vehicle passed upon re-test, the presence of simultaneous bulb failures and worn tyres suggests the owner only addresses faults once they threaten to fail the annual inspection rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At approximately 100,000 miles, this twenty-year-old Focus has averaged roughly 5,000 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average. The data shows consistent usage patterns between July 2023 and July 2025, with the vehicle covering 11,052 miles in two years. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber-based components, such as seals and suspension bushings, which do not always show up on an MOT record alone. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and wheels, as the July 2025 failure flagged both the nearside front and offside rear tyres as worn near the legal limit. This uneven wear pattern could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is also essential, as these are common failure points for this generation of Focus that may remain hidden until they become significant.
