Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 97,825 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the May 2025 and May 2024 tests also passed cleanly. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the examined period, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening condition or recurring defects in the last two years. At roughly 20 years old, the Fiesta shows 97,825 recorded miles, equating to about 4,891 miles per year which is low for its age. The mileage advanced from 94,075 in May 2024 to 96,613 by May 2025, then to 97,825 in October 2025, reflecting light and consistent use rather than standing idle or high annual accumulation. Two failed tests appear on 12 May 2025 at 96,526 miles and 14 May 2024 at 94,088 miles, yet both list no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The clean pass history between these dates supports a pattern of basic but adequate upkeep by previous owners. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on a vehicle of this age, focusing on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points where Ford bodies of this era commonly degrade. Although the MOT record flags no binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions failures, low-mileage cars left unused for stretches can develop seized brake components or perished rubber through moisture ingress. Verify the actual condition of brake discs, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls during a physical viewing. The absence of advisories across the record does not exempt a 2006 model from age-related fatigue not captured in a pass result.
