2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SD56 AFN

This 2006 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a remarkably stable maintenance trajectory, culminating in a clean pass on 21 December 2024 at 140,781 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 18 December 2023 at 129,923 miles also passed without advisories, following a minor administrative correction just four days prior on 14 December 2023 where the vehicle initially failed. A similar pattern occurred in November and December 2022, suggesting the previous keeper occasionally required a second attempt to rectify test omissions rather than battling deep-seated mechanical failures. The vehicle accumulates mileage at a predictable annual rate of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles over the inspected three-year window, bringing the odometer reading to a total of 140,781 miles by late 2024. The 2022 to 2024 period shows consistent utilization without prolonged periods of standing, moving from 119,819 miles in November 2022 up to the most recent test. This steady use helps prevent the seizing of brake calipers and degradation of rubber suspension bushes that typically plague under-driven older hatchbacks. Prospective buyers should still conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and mechanical assemblies despite the immaculate test sheets. The clean MOT record lacks advisory notes detailing brake pad thickness, tyre tread depths, or subframe corrosion, meaning consumable items require manual verification on the ramp. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the rear sills and suspension mounting points, which are common corrosion sites on twenty-year-old Ford platforms, alongside the condition of the coil springs and auxiliary drive belts.
