2006 Ford Focus 1.6L Petrol · YH06 KMF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of intermittent mechanical compliance. The most recent inspection conducted on November 2024 at 137,779 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any mechanical or safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent clean sheets suggest the current owner is maintaining basic operational standards. At 137,779 miles, this twenty-year-old Ford Focus has averaged approximately 6,889 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent between test intervals, with 3,023 miles recorded between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 1,769 miles leading up to the November 2024 test. This steady usage suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme stress cycles, though the age necessitates monitoring of rubber and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension undercarriage, as the recorded failures in 2022 and 2023 indicate that components frequently fall out of legal tolerance. Given the vehicle's age, check for significant corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting, which are common failure points on this Focus generation. Although the most recent test was clean, the history of failures suggests that suspension bushes, control arms, and brake components may require proactive replacement to prevent recurring MOT failures.
