The Focus was one of just three Fords in the top ten. All of the nine top sellers were relatively conventional cars. They were joined by a lone MPV, the Vauxhall Zafira, which trailed the Ford Mondeo by just 494 units over the course of 2006's twelve months.

The list of 2006's top sellers was very much the same as 2005's but for a few changes in the order and the disappearance of the Peugeot 206. In fact, there was but a single French car in the top ten, the fifth-ranked Renault Mégane.
These were the UK's ten best-selling vehicles in calendar year 2006.
