Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the low mile
The primary focus for any buyer should be the structural integrity of the vehicle. You must request detailed invoices and evidence of the repairs carried out to rectify the February 2024 chassis and sill failures to ensure they were welded to a professional standard. Be wary of the 'under sealant' mentioned in the November 2025 MOT, as this can sometimes be used to mask existing corrosion.
Negotiate based on the recurring advisories. The offside rear road wheel has been noted as distorted across multiple years (2023, 2024, and 2025), and the front brake discs were flagged as worn and pitted in late 2025. These represent immediate maintenance costs for the new owner.
Powered by a 1388cc petrol engine, this Fiesta is generally economical to run. Insurance costs should be low given the model's insurance group, and road tax for this era of 1.4L engine is typically moderate.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car due to the corrosion patterns seen in the MOT history. Expect to spend more on brake system maintenance and potential bodywork preservation to prevent further rust.
Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are likely to fall between £1,100 and £1,400.
Perform a thorough physical inspection of the offside rear sill and chassis area, specifically where the February 2024 failure occurred. Use a torch to look past the under-sealant for any signs of bubbling or fresh rust. Check the front brake pipes for the corrosion noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests, and inspect the front brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in November 2025.
Additionally, examine the offside rear wheel for the distortion recorded in the MOT history, as this can affect tyre wear and handling. Finally, check the offside front headlamp lens, which has been flagged as defective in previous years.
This blue 2006 Ford Fiesta has covered 66,583 miles, which is significantly below the average for its age. The MOT history is marked by a serious failure in February 2024 concerning structural corrosion of the offside rear sill and chassis. Although it has since passed its tests, the record shows persistent issues with brake pipe corrosion and a distorted road wheel.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures typically centering on headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
