2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GY56 YCC

This 2006 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT, conducted just over a year ago on 2025-06-20, passed without any recorded defects or advisories—though it is unusual to note two identical test entries on the same date, both showing a pass. The preceding tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed cleanly, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories in the official record. While this suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three cycles, the lack of any advisories or defects does not preclude underlying issues that might not have been detected during testing, particularly in areas like suspension wear, brake binding, or corrosion that are not always fully assessed in a standard MOT. The vehicle’s mileage progression indicates roughly 6,600 miles per year, which is typical for its age but does not account for any extended periods of inactivity. Between 2023-07-10 and 2024-06-27, the car accumulated 6,086 miles in just under a year, while the gap between 2024-06-27 and 2025-06-20 saw a slightly higher 10,678 miles. The most recent test at 131,902 miles aligns with this pattern, though the duplicate entries for June 2025 suggest either an administrative error or a potential oversight in the record. No major mileage spikes or prolonged stagnation are evident, but the average annual mileage still implies significant wear on high-usage components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. Given the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—components that often degrade gradually without triggering MOT failures. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, especially given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly for signs of corrosion in the wheel arches, subframe, and sills, which are common failure points in Fiestas of this era. The dual MOT entries in 2025 warrant clarification, as they may indicate a missed inspection or a deliberate retest, neither of which are ideal indicators of consistent maintenance.
