Our Verdict
A strong option for a budget city car. T
Focus on the service history for the 1.4L engine; low mileage can sometimes mask issues if the vehicle spent long periods stationary. Specifically, check for records of timing belt changes, which are essential for this model's longevity.
Use the recent MOT advisories as a negotiation point. The vehicle will likely require new front tyres and a replacement nearside rear shock absorber, as the November 2023 test noted the tyre was close to the legal limit and the shock was misting oil.
The 1.4L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and economy suitable for urban driving. While it lacks the efficiency of modern engines, it remains a cost-effective choice for insurance and road tax.
Typical maintenance for a Fiesta of this age is generally affordable due to the widespread availability of parts. Expect annual costs for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing to be moderate.
Prioritise an inspection of the front tyres and the nearside rear shock absorber, as these were flagged in the November 2023 MOT. Check for any oil leaks around the shock absorber mount and ensure the tyre tread is now within legal limits.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps and exhaust system, as these are top failure reasons for the Fiesta model across aggregate data. Given the previous failure for a stop lamp and an advisory for a registration plate lamp, a full check of all exterior lighting is recommended.
This black 2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L petrol has recorded 62,620 miles as of its last MOT in November 2023. The MOT history is relatively clear, with only one failure for a stop lamp and recent advisories regarding tyre wear and a rear shock absorber. It represents a low-mileage example of this common UK hatchback.
The Fiesta has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across 1.5 million vehicles, with common failures typically centered on headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
