2006 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6L Petrol · RO56 TRZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 24 September 2021 at 90,648 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car met minimum standards at that time. While the history shows two failures in 2020 and 2021, these were rectified immediately before subsequent passing tests, suggesting the previous owner addressed identified faults promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between September 2019 and September 2021, the car covered only 10,290 miles, which indicates infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. However, there is a significant gap in the record as the last recorded test occurred nearly five years ago relative to the current date of June 2026. This lack of recent data is a primary concern, as rubber-based components, seals, and fluid integrity degrade over time and inactivity regardless of low mileage figures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas most susceptible to low-mileage degradation. Given the age of the Ford Focus-Max, check the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as moisture often settles on vehicles that sit. Inspect the braking system for seized calipers or corroded brake discs, which are common issues when cars are unused for long periods. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perishing, as materials perish with age far faster than they wear down through use.
