2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EY06 KUO

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2026-03-02 at 99,193 miles, indicating that the most recent inspection was performed within the last two months. This suggests that the maintenance trend is stable, as the current date falls within the window where the vehicle has not yet failed again. However, the record reveals a pattern of frequent failure on the same components, particularly the windscreen wipers and brake discs, which indicates that basic upkeep was likely skipped or neglected during the ownership period. Mileage accumulation is relatively low for a 2006 model, averaging approximately 4,960 miles per year, which suggests the car has been driven less frequently than expected for its age. This low mileage, combined with the presence of numerous failing records, points to a lack of regular servicing. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a corroded coil spring in the September 2023 test, which are serious mechanical risks that require immediate attention. These recurring issues suggest that the vehicle has not undergone a full wheel alignment or suspension overhaul in the past, leaving the drivetrain vulnerable to future failure. Given the combination of a stable MOT date but widespread brake and suspension failures, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify the source of the brake disc wear and check the structural integrity of the coil spring. The oil leak noted in the 2026-03-02 test may indicate a minor leak that could be addressed during a routine check, but the underlying corrosion on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes remains a significant concern. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and ensure that the suspension bushes and ball joints are free of excessive wear before proceeding with the purchase.
