2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GP06 ABK

The 2025-12-17 MOT passed the vehicle despite multiple recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness while revealing a persistent pattern of mechanical deficiencies. Mileage has risen from 52,276 miles in December 2017 to 86,039 miles by December 2025, a gain of 33,763 miles over eight years, averaging just over 4,200 miles per year, with the most rapid accumulation occurring between 2022 and 2025. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension system closely, focusing on the severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers, the condition of the suspension arm ball joints, and the play and roughness reported in the rear wheel bearings. The repeated corrosion of brake pipes, the broken exhaust mounting, and the tyre tread deficiencies indicate that rust and wear have been ongoing, so a thorough inspection of brake lines, suspension components, wheel bearings and tyre condition is essential before purchase.
