2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GJ56 AHY

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 4 March 2026 at 105,811 miles. While the record shows a generally stable history with clean passes in February 2024 and February 2023, the most recent failure indicates an unresolved issue. The lack of specific defect data for the 2026 failure is unusual and suggests a need for immediate clarification on why the vehicle failed to achieve its certificate. The mileage is notably low for a twenty year old car, averaging roughly 5,291 miles per year. Between February 2023 and March 2026, the odometer climbed from 103,783 to 105,811 miles, showing a very low annual usage of approximately 700 miles over the last two years. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant periods standing, which often leads to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or battery degradation. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension for corrosion, as low-mileage older Fiestas often suffer from structural rust despite limited road use. Check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting caused by inactivity. Given the recent failure in March 2026, the specific reason for that result must be verified to ensure there are no hidden mechanical faults or emissions failures.
