2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AV06 YBJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on July 4, 2025 at 97,112 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within very short windows. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just days before a successful result, suggesting that the owner addresses specific-related faults only when necessary to pass the legal inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At approximately 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 97,112 miles represents a low annual average of roughly 4,856 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-intensity use, with only 3,249 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and just 1,613 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the age suggests that rubber components and fluid seals are prone to degradation from long periods of standing or short trip cycles. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the structural integrity, as older Fiesta models are susceptible to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the low mileage and the history of recent failures, the tester must check for perished suspension bushes and degraded coil springs which often fail due to age rather than distance. The braking system should also be verified for binding calipers or seized pistons, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust on the discs and inactive handb.
