2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CA06 YFG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a history of clean passes over the last six years. The most recent test conducted in September 2021 at 81,943 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a brief failure just three days prior at the same mileage. This sequence suggests a minor item was rectified immediately to meet minimum legal standards. Since that period, the vehicle has consistently maintained its structural and mechanical integrity across all recorded inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per annum. Between June 2018 and September 2021, the car covered 11,074 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity usage patterns. However, there is a significant gap in the record following the 2021 test. Given the current date in June 2026, the lack of MOT data for five years suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been out of use recently. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized brake components despite lack of movement. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of structural integrity and fluid systems due to the low mileage and age. Older Ford Fiestas are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches, which can manifest regardless of miles driven. The inspector should check for seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes, common issues common when vehicles are driven infrequently. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age-related rubber failure often precedes tread wear on low-mileage cars.
