2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · VX06 AGY

The Ford Fiesta presented a valid MOT pass on 18 April 2023 at 113,388 miles with no defects recorded, establishing roadworthiness at that date. Maintenance trend across the supplied entries remains stable, as each successful test from 24 May 2021 through to the latest examination logged zero advisories or faults. Two anomalous failures on 5 April 2023 and 16 May 2022 show no listed defects, suggesting administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical decline. The vehicle therefore entered its current untested period with a clean sheet, though the absence of recent testing leaves present condition unverified. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2006 registered car, totalling 113,388 miles or roughly 5,669 miles per year. The odometer advanced 5,528 miles between the May 2021 test at 103,740 miles and the May 2022 failure at 109,268 miles. A further 4,120 miles accrued by April 2023 when the gauge read 113,388 miles at both the failed and passed tests. Such low annual use implies lighter wear on drivetrain components, yet prolonged standing can accelerate corrosion and perishable item degradation. The supplied history is sparse, covering only three years, but it reveals no rapid accumulation or suspect jumps beyond the identical readings on same-day retests. A buyer must investigate the unexplained failures that carry no defect entries, as the DVSA system typically records reasons for refusal. Verify the vehicle identity and odometer integrity where the 16 May 2022 entry shows 109,268 miles failing and 109,272 miles passing within one day, and the April 2023 pair share an exact 113,388 mile reading. Beyond paperwork, physically inspect the 20 year old structure for corrosion to sills, subframes and suspension mounting points. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs and dampers for age related cracking or fatigue. Check brake discs, calipers and flexible hoses for binding or deterioration given the low usage pattern that can encourage seizing. Assess exhaust emissions and catalyst condition through a fresh test, since the last examination expired over three years ago relative to today's date of 19 July 2026. Confirm the car has not remained idle undrained of fluids, as standing fuel and coolant systems on a Ford of this era often suffer internal contamination.
