2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · KV06 XKC

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 18 August 2023 at 140,758 miles which recorded no defects. The vehicle passed every completed MOT from 2020 through 2023 without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across that four-year span. The single failure on 19 August 2021 at 132,465 miles is anomalous; the tester issued no defects yet the car failed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Annual mileage averages near 7,038 miles, typical for a twenty-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 128,343 miles in August 2020, 132,465 in August 2021, 136,071 in August 2022, and 140,758 in August 2023. The gaps between tests are consistent at roughly twelve months with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The clean pass sheet each year implies the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the absence of any advisories across this mileage is unusual and may reflect lenient testing rather than a fault-free chassis. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the age and salt-exposure risk on a 2006 shell. The brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement despite no binding or imbalance being logged. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity showed nothing adverse in the record, but rubber components such as wishbone mounts harden with time regardless of test outcome. The 2021 failure with zero defects recorded demands clarification from DVSA before purchase, as the reason remains undocumented. Beyond that, the history supports a lightly used, plausibly maintained example with no recurring fault pattern to date.
