2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EA56 NPJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 27 October 2025 at 102,992 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addresses specific failures to secure a passing certificate. While the car failed the two most recent tests, the issues were limited to interior trim rather than mechanical or structural failures, suggesting the owner is willing to rectify non-compliance issues to maintain legal operation. At 102,992 miles over twenty years, this Ford Fiesta has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,150 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between tests, with roughly 2,100 miles recorded between October 2024 and October 2025, and about 1,300 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the driver's seat adjustment mechanism, as this was a recurring failure point in both 2024 and 2025. Despite the clean MOT reports regarding mechanical systems, the low age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, where rust is common in this generation regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, verify that the central rear seat belt buckle identified in the final failure now locks properly, as this was a critical safety defect.
