2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CK06 JWA

The 2006 Ford Fiesta has a mixed roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test in July 2023 at 96,662 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, this outcome follows a failed test in July 2023 at the same mileage due to worn tyres, excessively worn swivel pins and bushes, and a non-functional stop lamp. This suggests a worsening trend in maintenance, with recurring issues related to tyre wear and brake component corrosion. The recent pass is therefore a cause for concern, indicating that the vehicle may not have been properly maintained. The mileage pattern for this vehicle is notable for its low annual mileage of approximately 4,833 miles per year over the past 20 years. This is a fraction of the average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age and type. However, the lack of significant gaps in the MOT record suggests that the vehicle has been regularly used and maintained. The most recent MOT pass in July 2023 at 96,662 miles indicates that the vehicle's maintenance has improved in the short term, but the underlying issues with tyre wear and brake corrosion persist. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake components in person, paying particular attention to the swivel pins and bushes, which have been excessively worn in the past. The vehicle's tyres should also be closely examined, as they have been a recurring issue, with worn tread and edges noted in multiple tests. Additionally, the brake pipes and hoses should be inspected for signs of corrosion and wear, as these have been flagged in several tests. The vehicle's structural integrity should also be assessed, as surface rust on the main metal brake pipe and rear exhaust heat shield insecurity have been noted in the past.
