2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KF06 ABK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing an improving trend in its maintenance history. Following the most recent test in June 2023 at 129,255 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully rectified, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record since the last formal inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between April 2021 and April 2022, the car covered 12,102 miles, while the period between April 2022 and June 2023 saw a slightly higher usage rate of 15,782 miles. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently without long periods of stationary time, which often helps in preventing the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals in older engines. While the recent history is clean, the failures in April 2021 and April 2022 suggest the vehicle is prone to specific faults that require immediate attention. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and mounting points, which are common on this generation of Fiesta. Given the previous failures, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is necessary to ensure that the issues which caused past failures are not resurfacing as the mileage continues to climb.
