2006 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · DA06 TMZ

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 100,189 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also show clean sheets. The April 2024 entry lists a fail and a pass on the same day at 97,383 miles with no defects noted, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low for a twenty-year-old car. The record runs 93,535 miles in April 2022, 95,354 in April 2023, 97,383 in April 2024, and 100,189 in April 2025. That is roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles added each year, averaging well under the 5,000-mile yearly figure for the vehicle's life. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect, though long standing periods between short trips can hide perished rubber and crusted brake calipers not caught in a pass. A buyer should still lay eyes on the underside. Low-use Fiestas of this era rot at sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points while MoT testers log no advisory. Check coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for corrosion or binding from disuse. The same-day fail and pass in April 2024 warrants a glance at the VOSA refusal reason to rule out a missed defect. Given the absent advisories across five years, the previous keeper clearly kept the car lightly used and test-compliant. Inspect tyres and wiper blades for age cracking, and confirm the exhaust emissions stay clean on a cold start before purchase.
