2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FH06 KAE

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 18 June 2022 returning a pass at 84,378 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening mechanical issues across the available history. A prior failure on 16 June 2022 at 84,349 miles is anomalous, as the tester logged no defects; the vehicle passed two days later with identical clean results, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. The odometer sat at 81,437 miles for the 15 July 2021 test and rose only to 84,378 miles by June 2022, a gain of roughly 2,941 miles in eleven months. Over its twenty-year life this equates to about 4,200 miles per year, which is low for the age. Such limited use often means lighter wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though long stationary periods can let corrosion and perished rubber take hold. The record itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories or repairs logged across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries show no advisories but a twenty-year-old Ford shell can hide rust in sills and suspension mounts. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation that low mileage will not prevent. The twin 2022 tests with no recorded defects mean no recurring mechanical trend exists to chase, yet verify the reason for the 16 June failure with the test station before purchase.
