2006 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CA56 XAD

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 153,929 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards. This trend suggests that the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures typically seen in older Ford models. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 145,430 miles and April 2025 at 153,929 miles, the car covered 8,499 miles, a steady rate that suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary. This consistent usage is often beneficial for mechanical components, as it prevents seals drying and brake corrosion that frequently affects low-mileage cars that sit idle. Despite the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common points of failure specific to the Ford Fiesta of this generation. Priority should be given to checking for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounts, as these areas are prone to rust that may not yet trigger a failure. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or tearing, as the MOT test does not always flag minor rubber degradation until it reaches a critical threshold.
