2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP55 DDF

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 12 January 2024 at 74,564 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. The only irregularity is administrative rather than mechanical: the car failed twice on 8 January 2024 and 11 January 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes four days later, with no defects listed either time. This points to paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station, not worsening condition. Recorded mileage sits at 74,564 against a 20-year-old supermini, averaging just 3,728 miles per year. The odometer moved from 64,689 in November 2021 to 70,092 by January 2023, then to 74,564 by January 2024. That is roughly 4,400 miles annually, consistent with the long-term average and confirming light use. A gap exists between the November 2021 and January 2023 entries with no 2022 test logged, but the clean pass results and low accumulation suggest the vehicle was simply sparingly driven and periodically tested rather than neglected. Because no tester ever flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns, the MOT record alone shows no serious mechanical or structural risks. The repeated no-defect failures without recorded faults imply the previous owner kept basic roadworthiness in order but may have mishandled test appointments or documentation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common age-related items not always caught in a pass: check subframe and sill corrosion, assess suspension arm bushes for perishing after long static periods, and confirm brake calipers are not seizing from disuse. Verify the tyres and wiper blades are current despite no advisories, given the car's low mileage and likely extended standing.
