2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KF06 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025 that were rectified quickly to achieve passing. This suggests that while issues are identified during testing, they are being addressed promptly to keep the car in legal road condition without recurring major failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2023 and November 2024, where the car covered roughly 11,700 miles, followed by another 12,500 miles in the following year. While the low annual mileage indicates less engine wear, the long periods of potential inactivity can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or fluid issues that are not reflected on the odometer. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection for structural rust, particularly along the sills and artwork arches, which are common on Fords of this era. Despite the low mileage, it is vital to check the suspension components, such as bushes and shocks, for cracking or perished rubber caused by age rather than use. Additionally, inspecting the brake system for corrosion is advisable, as low-usage vehicles often suffer from caliper seizing or surface pitting over time.
