2006 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Other · IEZ 5101

The 2006 Ford Fiesta Zetec presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 September 2024 at 115,317 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the usable history, with the only blemishes being two isolated failures in 2022 and 2023 that were subsequently cleared within days and required no recorded repairs. No advisories or worn components appear at any stage, suggesting the car has not entered a visible decline in tested condition. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 20-year-old vehicle. The record shows 99,182 miles on 1 June 2022, rising to 105,893 miles by 29 August 2023 and 115,317 miles by September 2024, an average of roughly 5,766 miles per year. A gap exists between the June 2022 pass and the August 2023 failure, with no intermediate entry, but annual accumulation stays low and consistent. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, though long idle periods cannot be ruled out from the data alone. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion and suspension bushes in person, as the MOT testers logged no advisories despite the car's age and the two failed tests show no specified defect to trace. The absence of recorded brake, exhaust, or tyre faults means consumables were likely within limits, yet the 2022 and 2023 failures with no defects noted may point to administrative or minor non-mechanical issues rather than resolved wear. Given the low mileage, check for perished rubber and standing-water damage not captured by the tests. Verify the odometer against the 99,191-mile June 2022 figure and the 115,317-mile September 2024 reading to confirm no tampering. The recurring clean passes from 2022 onward imply basic upkeep was maintained, but a 2006 chassis demands a physical check of floor pan and sills for rust before purchase.
