2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BV56 ADU

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and unusually clean roadworthiness trend for its age. The most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 133,541 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been exceptionally well preserved. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a twenty year old car, averaging roughly 6,677 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 125,338 miles and the October 2025 test at 133,541 miles, the car covered 8,203 miles. This steady usage prevents the common issues associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The absence of advisories across five years of testing is rare for a 2006 model. The record shows no recurring failures regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions. Even the failure on 2 October 2023 at 118,156 miles was resolved on the same day, and the lack of recorded defects during that failure suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a mechanical breakdown. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focusing on structural corrosion, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage rust on chassis rails or sills. Given the clean record, priority should be placed on verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical components are age-dependent regardless of the clean MOT history. Check for oil leaks around the engine bay to ensure the lack of MOT defects reflects genuine mechanical health rather than a lenient testing regime.
