2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KB55 PXO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a sequence of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 22 January 2024 at 134,042 miles resulted no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum legal standards. This consistent lack of failures suggests a proactive maintenance approach where the previous owner addressed potential issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between January 2020 and January 2024, the car covered 31,465 miles, showing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. The interval of 9,777 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and the 8,891 miles between 2022 and 2023, confirms regular driving habits which typically help prevent seized brakes and perished rubber components. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on common failure points for a twenty-year-old Ford Fiesta. Given the age, the structural integrity should be verified for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it becomes significant. The buyer should also inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time regardless of relatively low mileage. Since the last recorded MOT was performed over two years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for a test. An immediate mechanical check is required to assess the current state of the brake discs, tyres, and exhaust emissions. Pay close attention to any signs of fluid leaks or play in the drivetrain, as the gap in recent data means the current condition of consumables has remained unknown since the 2024 inspection.
