2006 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · HV06 MMJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the recent history indicates a period of inconsistency. While the most recent MOT test on 30 March 2022 at 133,175 miles passed with no recorded defects, this followed two immediate failures within the same month. Because no MOT has been recorded since March 2022, the vehicle is now over four years overdue for its annual inspection. This significant gap in data makes the current mechanical state of the safety-critical components entirely unknown. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between March 2020 at 113,722 miles and March 2021 at 119,530 miles, the car covered roughly 5,800 miles. The jump of 13,645 miles recorded between March 2021 and March 2022 represents a period of higher usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain but increases the risk of rubber components perished, seals, and fluid degradation due to age rather than distance travelled friction. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components, as the record lacks recent data on these areas. The two failures in March 2022, despite no listed defects in the summary, suggest potential administrative errors or minor issues that were rectified quickly. Particular attention should be paid to corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which are common failure points for this generation of Fiesta. Given the age and the long interval since the last test, the brake lines, tyres, and suspension bushes should be checked for signs of advanced decay or tearing.
