Our Verdict
Proceed with caution as this Ford Fiesta shows above-average mileage for its age. While recent MOTs are clean, the historical failures suggest a need for a thorough mechanical check before purchase.
When viewing this specific Fiesta, your priority should be the service history. With over 25,000 miles more than the expected average, many wear and tear components may be nearing replacement. Ask for a comprehensive service booklet to ensure the 1.388cc engine has been maintained regularly, as MOT records do not reflect mechanical care.
Investigate the reasons for the 2022 and 2023 MOT failures. While the data does not list the specific failure points for those years, you should ask the owner what was repaired. Pay close attention to any signs of rust on the chassis or suspension, which is common for this generation of Fiesta.
The 1.4-litre engine is relatively economical, typically sitting in a lower insurance group and with a modest tax band. Expect realistic fuel economy around 40-45 MPG depending on driving style, making it an affordable option for commuters.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally low as parts are widely available and simple to fit. However, budget for an annual running cost of roughly between £700 and £900, covering fuel, basic insurance, and routine servicing.
Inspect the underbody for corrosion, specifically around the exhaust system and brake lines, as these are common failure points for 2006 models. Given the past MOT failures, check the condition of the headlamps and exhaust mounting brackets to ensure previous repairs were carried out correctly.
Check the tyres for even wear; tyres are listed as a top reason for failure across this model aggregate. Additionally, test the clutch and listen for any knocks from the suspension, as these can be exacerbated by the 86,000-mile mark.
This 2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4-litre petrol has recorded 86,132 miles, which is significantly higher than the fleet average of approximately 58,000 miles for its age. Although the most recent MOT tests passed without recorded defects, the vehicle has experienced failures in 2022 and 2023. It represents a budget-friendly entry point but carries the risks associated with higher-mileage older.
The 2006 Fiesta is generally considered robust for city driving, but is prone to exhaust and lighting-related issues as it ages.
