2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BP55 JWD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 156,371 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and corrosion-related issues have been addressed or have not yet progressed. This follows a clean result in November 2024, suggesting the car is currently being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between August 2021 and November 2024, the car covered 9,611 miles, representing a lower usage rate of roughly 2,400 miles per annum during that specific interval. This lower mileage suggests the vehicle may have been used for short trips or sat intermittently, which can limit wear on mechanical components but also risks the degradation of rubber components and fluid integrity if the car is not driven regularly. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension components where recurring faults were previously noted. The 2022 and 2023 tests flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes, along with a misting nearside rear shock absorber. While these do not appear in the most recent records, a buyer must verify that the brake lines are free of structural corrosion and that the rear shocks have not developed a significant leak. Given the age of the Fiesta, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity is also necessary to ensure that the corrosion noted in the past has not spread to the frame.
