2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · L15 OLB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 August 2025 at 76,837 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistent streak suggests the car has been maintained to a functional standard that avoids immediate mechanical or structural failures that would trigger a fail under DVSA testing criteria. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between July 2021 and September 2022, where the car covered only 247 miles in fourteen months. Since 2022, usage has increased, with nearly 24,000 miles recorded between September 2022 and August 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to dry rubber components or fluid degradation that occurs with time rather than operation. While the digital record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must address the risks associated with low-mileage aging. The physical inspection should focus on the perished rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack from age regardless of tread depth. Given the vehicle's age, a check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these areas of the Fiesta are prone to rust that may not always manifest until it becomes significant. Testing the brakes for seized calipers or pitted discs is also necessary for vehicles that sit for long periods.
