Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mil
Given that the last recorded MOT was in October 2021, your first priority must be to check if a more recent MOT has been completed. A gap in testing history is a significant red flag for any used vehicle purchase. You should also request evidence of any servicing performed between 2021 and the present day.
When negotiating, consider the high mileage as a lever to reduce the price. Focus on the diesel engine's health; at nearly 180,000 miles, components like the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and clutch may be nearing the end of their service life. Ensure you check the service book for consistent oil changes, which are critical for this 1399cc diesel unit.
As a 1.4L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for economy, likely offering decent fuel figures for long-distance commuting. However, at this age and mileage, maintenance costs may rise as wear-and-tear items require replacement more frequently.
Insurance groups for 2006 Fiestas are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. Tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 emissions, but generally, older diesels fall into mid-range brackets. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for more frequent repairs.
Based on the 2021 MOT failure, check that all lighting, specifically the central high-level brake light, is fully operational. Inspect the offside wing mirror for any signs of structural damage or loose housing that might indicate a recurring issue.
Beyond the recorded failures, pay close attention to the common failure points for this model aggregate, such as the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs. Given the high mileage, listen for unusual noises from the suspension and check for excessive exhaust smoke, which could indicate engine wear.
This 2006 silver Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi has covered 177,087 miles as of its last recorded MOT in October 2021. Given its first registration in October 2006, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,779 miles per year. The MOT history shows a failure in 2021 related to a non-working central stop lamp and a damaged offside mirror, both of which were rectified for the pass.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
