2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BV56 XWA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2023 at 44,658 miles passed, yet it flagged significant issues including corroded brake pipes and worn-out tyres. While the car passed its inspection, the recurring nature of failures across previous years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they become necessary to obtain an MOT certificate. At 44,658 miles, this twenty-year-old Fiesta has exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,233 miles per year. The data shows very little movement between tests, with only 107 miles recorded between September 2021 and October 2022, and just 144 miles covered in the following year. This low usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and accelerated corrosion due to lack of use, which is consistent with the corroded brake lines and pitted discs noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and chassis. The tester noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes in 2023, which indicates a risk of fluid leaks or line failure if not treated. Furthermore, the pitted and scored front brake discs from 2022 suggest the vehicle may have sat for long periods, allowing rust to bond the metal surfaces. You should also check the alignment, as the history repeatedly flags uneven inner tyre wear, which typically points to geometry issues or worn suspension bushes.
