2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BN06 DHD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 2 March 2026 at 78,733 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a streak of clean passes dating back to 2022. This consistent history of passes suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained well-maintained, likely undergoing proactive care rather than reactive repairs. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered only 251 miles, indicating a period of very light use or storage. Usage has increased slightly since 2023, with 10,740 miles recorded between the March 2023 test and the recent March 2026 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid stagnation if the vehicle sits for long periods. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to age-mileage neglect. Focus should be placed on the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls, which can perish over time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake system for corrosion or seized calipers, as low-frequency use often leads to discs surface pitting. Additionally, verifying the chassis for structural rust in the sills and arches is essential, as MOT tests only identify corrosion once it reaches a significant threshold.
