2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BL06 AAV

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 7 October 2024 at 126,904 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the visible history, though the test on 27 September 2024 produced a failure at 126,459 miles with no defects listed, a pattern that typically points to an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a worn component. Prior passes in 2023, 2022, and 2021 show clean sheets with no advisories on suspension, brakes, or corrosion. Recorded mileage sits at 126,904 against roughly twenty years of use, an average near 6,345 miles per year and consistent with typical private ownership. The car added 8,636 miles between the August 2021 test at 102,823 miles and the September 2023 test at 118,209 miles, then 8,695 miles to the October 2024 pass. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every pass and the unexplained failure carrying no advisory entries, so the record alone gives little evidence of deferred consumable care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as a twenty-year Ford shell can hide rust in sills and suspension mounts not caught in a clean MOT. The tester logged no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, yet these items degrade with age irrespective of low annual mileage. Check brake discs and exhaust emissions on a cold start, and verify the 27 September 2024 failure reason through the full DVSA certificate, since the summary shows no defects and the cause remains unstated. Absent recurring faults, the history implies reasonable upkeep, but the age demands hands-on checks the paper trail cannot confirm.
