2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FH06 VYZ

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 89,461 miles returned a pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken pass sequence since June 2022. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the recorded history. Recorded mileage sits at 89,461 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,473 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual use: 80,152 miles in June 2022, 83,311 in May 2023, 86,002 in May 2024, and 89,461 in May 2025. The sparse record shows a single anomalous double entry on 31 May 2023 where the car failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or retest correction rather than a genuine fault. Low mileage of this type often means long stationary periods, which can hide perished rubber components and corrosion not visible in a clean MOT. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age. Standing time accelerates degradation of flexible mounts and can promote structural rust on sills and subframes even when the tester recorded no advisories. The clean history offers no recurring mechanical pattern to track, but the absence of flagged wear items does not certify component condition at 20 years old. Verify the V5C and confirm the 31 May 2023 failure was a clerical reversal, not a suppressed defect. Inspect underbody for corrosion and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking before purchase.
