2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV06 DWW

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 14 August 2024 at 94,202 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by near-immediate passes, which warrants a closer look at the circumstances rather than the mechanical condition itself. The recorded mileage of 94,202 against a 20-year-old vehicle equates to a low average of roughly 4,710 miles per year. The odometer moved from 83,621 miles in August 2022 to 89,774 miles in August 2023, then to 94,202 by August 2024, reflecting consistent low annual use of around 5,000 to 5,400 miles. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean between passes, with no advisories or defects logged on any successful test. The failures dated 9 August 2024 at 94,163 miles and 16 August 2023 at 89,773 miles both list no defects recorded. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed days later on the same mileage without rectification. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificate authenticity, since a fail with zero recorded defects is atypical and may point to a miskeyed entry or non-attendance at the first appointment. Given the absent advisories across five years, the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural underbody show no flagged corrosion or wear in the official data. Low mileage and standing periods can hide perished rubber components or seized calipers not captured in a clean test. A physical inspection should confirm tyre sidewall condition, brake binding after a road test, and subframe rust before purchase.
