2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CK56 OSY

The vehicle currently presents an uncertain roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT failure on 18 June 2025 at 136,817 miles. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the recent failure without previously recorded defects suggests a sudden mechanical or emissions issue that has not been addressed. The maintenance trend is currently unstable, as the transition from a clean pass to an immediate failure indicates a potential lapse in preventative upkeep or a component reaching the end of its functional life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 116,877 miles and June 2025 at 136,817 miles, the car covered 19,940 miles, showing steady and relatively low usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and corrosion due to irregular use. The lack of advisories in the passing tests suggests that the vehicle was either in very good condition or that the tester did not flag emerging issues of rust or component fatigue. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection to identify the cause of the June 2025 failure before proceeding. Given the age of this Ford Fiesta, close attention should be paid to structural integrity, specifically the sills, wheel arches, and subframe, where deep corrosion is common. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these components often fail on high-mileage vehicles. Since the recent failure did not list specific defects, a check of the exhaust system and brake lines is essential to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards required for a passing test.
