2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CU56 LJZ

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at its most recent test on 4 January 2024 at 152,867 miles. No defects or advisories appear on that certificate, and the same holds for the 14 January 2023 pass at 148,191 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the supplied history, though two earlier failures in January 2022 and January 2023 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than component failure. Annual mileage averages close to 7,600 miles against the car's twenty-year life, a typical use profile for a supermini of this era. The records show 142,561 miles on 13 January 2022, rising to 148,190 by 12 January 2023 and 152,867 by January 2024, a consistent yearly increment near 5,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation. The gap between the 12 January 2023 failure and the 14 January 2023 pass covers merely two days and one mile, confirming the retest followed immediate correction of the non-technical refusal. Given the absence of flagged advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT data implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance. The repeated no-defect failures suggest the owner relied on the annual test rather than interim checks, but no neglect of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades is evidenced in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake disc wear, as a clean MOT does not measure remaining pad thickness or incipient subframe rust. Verify the 2022 and 2023 failure reasons with the test centre, since the DVSA log omits defect text. Otherwise the documented history supports a sound, low-stress mechanical baseline for a high-mileage 2006 hatchback.
