Our Verdict
This 2006 Ford Fiesta with the 1.2-litre petrol engine is a reasonable budget buy, but the failed MOT in October 2024 warrants caution. Provided the car is currently roadworthy and the earlier failure was administratively resolved, it should serve a low-mileage buyer well.
When viewing this Fiesta, ask the seller for clarification on the 2024-10-29 MOT failure, as the record shows no defects recorded yet a fail result — this may indicate a documentation or administrative issue that should be verified with the DVSA. Confirm the current MOT certificate matches the 2024-11-02 pass and that the car is legally roadworthy before purchase.
As a 1242cc petrol Ford Fiesta from 2006, this car falls into a low road tax band typical of small petrol hatchbacks, likely under £200 per year. Insurance groups for the 1.2 Fiesta are generally low, making it cheap to cover for new or young drivers.
Inspect the vehicle against the 2024-10-29 MOT failure despite no defects being recorded; check all lights, tyres, brakes and emissions in person to ensure roadworthiness, as the rapid re-test pass two days later suggests any issue was minor or clerical. Verify the odometer reading of 81,967 miles matches the latest MOT and shows sensible progression from 64,775 in 2021.
The vehicle is a blue 2006 Ford Fiesta registered KD55ATN, first on the road in February 2006 with a 1242cc petrol engine. MOT records show a clean pass history from 2021 to 2023 and a 2024 pass at 81,967 miles, but a failed test on 2024-10-29 at 81,965 miles with no defects listed. Total mileage of just under 82,000 over 18 years is below average for a car of this age, supporting its value as a low-mileage example.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Fiesta, so model-wide failure patterns cannot be assessed from the provided information.
