2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MA06 LTO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its clean MOT history following initial test failures. The most recent test in November 2023 at 89,448 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards. While the history shows failures in both 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes suggest the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified issues prior to re-testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,472 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 69,790 miles and November 2023 at 89,448 miles, the car covered 19,658 miles, suggesting a consistent but light usage pattern. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake hoses due to age rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Ford Fiestas are prone to corrosion over time. Given the low mileage, check the brake system for perished seals or seized calipers which can frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Additionally, inspect the suspension for cracks in the rubber boots, as these components become brittle over two decades regardless of the low miles recorded on the odometer.
