2006 Ford Focus C-MAX 1.8L Petrol · SL06 PHK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the MOT record is currently out of date. The most recent recorded test occurred in January 2022 at 102,478 miles resulted in a pass with no defects noted, following a failure just three days prior at the same mileage. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to achieve compliance. However, the lack of a test for the last four years means the current mechanical state of the engine, braking system, and emissions components remains unverified. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,124 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between July 2019 at 98,645 miles and January 2021 at 102,478 miles, covering only 3,833 miles over seventeen months. While low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls as well as potential corrosion on brake discs and brake fluid contamination due to lack of regular use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as the age of the vehicle increases the risk of rust in the sills and suspension mounts. Given the low usage, check for signs of seized brake calipers or perished tyres that may result from inactivity. Inspect the exhaust system for excessive corrosion and verify the condition of the fluids. Since the record ends with a 2022 pass, a fresh MOT is mandatory to confirm that no significant mechanical failures have developed during the period of undocumented use.
