Our Verdict
A rare example of very low mileage, but
Your primary focus should be the mechanical advisories from the June 2026 MOT. The 'play in steering rack inner joint(s)' and 'rear axle bushes unbonding' are significant items that can be costly to rectify and affect the vehicle's handling. Ask for evidence that these have been repaired since the test was passed.
Additionally, investigate the recurring mentions of buckled inner wheel rims (recorded in 2024, 2025, and 2026). This suggests a history of impact or poor road conditions that may have affected other components. Ensure the service history is present to see if these items were addressed or simply ignored as advisories.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for economy and low-cost motoring. Insurance for this model is typically low, and the engine is widely supported by most UK garages, keeping maintenance costs accessible.
However, the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and suspension parts are reaching the end of their natural life, as evidenced by the axle bush and coil spring advisories. Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs in the short term to resolve the current MOT advisories.
Carefully inspect the steering; any looseness or 'play' in the wheel correlates with the 2026 MOT advisory for the steering rack inner joints. Check the rear suspension for stability and noise, as the MOT record specifically notes unbonding rear axle bushes.
Visually examine all four wheels for signs of deformation or buckling, as this has been a recurring advisory since 2024. Finally, check the headlamps for cloudiness and the tyres for splitting in the tread, both of which were flagged in the most recent inspection.
This blue 2006 Ford Fiesta has covered only 39,379 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. While it has a consistent testing history, the most recent MOT records highlight several mechanical concerns, including steering rack play and unbonding rear axle bushes. There is also a recurring pattern of buckled wheel rims across multiple years of testing.
The Fiesta is generally regarded as a reliable small car, though aggregate data confirms that headlamps and coil springs are common failure points for this model.
