2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CA06 NNB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 6 December 2023 at 145,790 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were addressed. However, the recurring trend of failing in both November 2023 and November 2022—occurring just days before successful passes—suggests the owner likely only performs necessary repairs when compelled by the annual testing process rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 145,790 miles over twenty years, the Fiesta averages approximately 7,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for an urban vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between December 2021 and December 2022, and another 9,700 miles between December 2022 and December 2023. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake fluid corrosion in older F. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the vehicle's age and mileage make it susceptible to hidden rust in the sills, wheel arches, and subframe mounting. Because the MOT record does not list specific reasons for the prior failures, an inspector must check for play in the control arm bushes and wear on the coil springs, which are common points of failure on this model. Given the high mileage, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and checking for binding brake calipers is essential to ensure the vehicle remains reliable beyond the next test date.
