2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FP06 VUX

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 October 2022 at 79,952 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. The owner resolved the two earlier failures without recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than unresolved wear. Recorded mileage sits at 79,952 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,998 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 75,330 miles on 19 October 2021 and 79,952 by 25 October 2022, a modest 4,622-mile gain over twelve months. Sparse entries and low annual use imply the car spent long periods standing, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing, brake seizing, and underbody corrosion despite the clean test sheet. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizure linked to prolonged inactivity. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, yet standing vehicles often hide rust on sills and subframes unseen in a pass result. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions during a cold start, as low-mileage Fords of this era degrade rubber and hoses quietly. Given the October 2022 pass is nearly four years old relative to today's date, the vehicle requires a fresh MOT before any purchase. No recurring fault trend exists in the record, but the absence of recent testing means consumable and structural condition is unverified by DVSA data alone.
