2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GJ56 AKK

The Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent examination. On 2 December 2025 the tester issued a pass at 97,097 miles with no defects recorded, following an anomalous fail on the same date and mileage showing no listed faults. Prior tests from November 2023 through November 2024 also returned passes with zero advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the recorded interval. The odometer reads 97,097 miles against a 2006 model year, equating to roughly 4,855 miles per annum and marking light use for a two-decade-old vehicle. Mileage advanced from 80,111 miles on 1 November 2023 to 88,893 miles on 21 November 2024, then to 97,097 miles by December 2025, reflecting a steady roughly 8200 annual accumulation in the later records. The sparse, defect-free history shows no abrupt gaps or rapid wear cycles, though the twin fail-pass entries on identical dates suggest administrative anomalies rather than mechanical deterioration. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT records omit when no defects are flagged. The tester noted no corrosion, suspension wear, or brake issues, yet a 20-year-old chassis may harbour perished rubber bushes, fatigued coil springs, or hidden structural rust beneath sills and arches. Low mileage combined with likely periods of standing demands scrutiny of brake calipers for binding, disc surface condition, and exhaust integrity. The repeated fail entries with no recorded defects warrant a request for the original test certificates or DVSA clarification. Previous keepers presented the car for annual testing without accruing advisories, implying basic upkeep was maintained, but the absence of flagged consumables such as tyres or wiper blades across five tests is atypical and merits verifying the vehicle’s true service background before purchase.
