2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN56 XDO

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 17 March 2025 at 121,474 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with each annual test ultimately resulting in a pass and no advisories logged at any stage. The record shows a clean mechanical picture on paper, though the repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 suggest administrative re-tests rather than resolved faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,074 miles per year. The odometer moved from 99,658 miles at the 29 March 2023 test to 111,074 miles by 25 March 2024, then to 121,474 miles by 17 March 2025. That equates to about 11,400 miles in the first interval and 10,400 in the second, showing consistent light-to-moderate use with no sudden accumulation spikes or unexplained gaps. The sparse three-test record gives little depth, but the absence of recorded defects across all entries implies basic upkeep was maintained. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. No advisories were ever raised for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet a vehicle of this age and mileage commonly develops unseen wear in those areas that testers may overlook on a pass. The same-day failures in March 2024 at 111,071 miles and March 2025 at 121,474 miles with no defects cited point to paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical defects, but confirm with the seller what prompted each revisit. Given the low annual mileage and fault-free history, previous owners likely used the car for short local journeys, which can accelerate exhaust corrosion and flat-spot tyres through standing. Inspect the subframe, sills, and brake calipers for binding or rust before purchase, and verify the tyres and wiper blades are not aged perishes from low use.
