2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AD06 TAV

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 30,930 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 16 July 2024 at 30,280 miles. The earlier failure on 19 June 2024 at 30,279 miles listed no defects, indicating a administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared on retest four weeks later. Recorded mileage sits at 30,930 against a 20-year lifespan, an average of roughly 1,546 miles per year. The gap between the 21 April 2022 test at 29,951 miles and the 24 March 2023 test at 30,172 miles shows only 221 miles covered in eleven months. From March 2023 to July 2024 the car added just 108 miles. This low, flat profile suggests extended periods of storage with minimal regular use. A static, low-mileage Ford of this age carries typical risks unrelated to wear-through. Deteriorating suspension bushes, perished rubber components, and seized brake calipers develop from inactivity rather than distance. The MOT history flags none of these, but the record is sparse and cannot confirm their condition. A buyer should physically inspect for structural corrosion on sills and subframes, check brake discs for rust pitting after standing, and verify tyre sidewall cracking from age. The clean advisory list offers no warning, so a pre-purchase inspection beneath the car remains sensible given the long dormant intervals.
