2006 Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate Tdci 1.4L Diesel · GEZ 3794

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in October 2024 at 151,792 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the current owner has maintained the mechanical and safety components to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without the recurring failures often seen in vehicles of this age. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the 2019 test at 112,427 miles and the 2024 test at 151,792 miles, the car covered 39,365 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage pattern. The gap between the 2019 and 2021 tests shows a period of lower activity, but the subsequent clean passes suggest the vehicle did not suffer from significant degradation-related degradation during that period of relative inactivity. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for this generation of Ford Fiesta. A buyer must check for structural integrity, specifically corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as MOT tests only flag rust once it becomes a significant structural weakness. The suspension should also be examined for worn bushes and perished coil springs, which often degrade silently over the 150,000-mile mark. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the brake lines for corrosion and checking the calipers for binding is essential to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects the actual condition of the braking system.
