2006 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · MF06 XAV

A consistently clean roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories noted across the last three years of testing. This stability is evidenced by the pass achieved on 4 July 2025 and suggests a car that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The absence of recurring issues indicates a reliable mechanical baseline. The recorded mileage of 92,285 miles is low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,614 miles per year. This usage profile suggests significantly less wear on the engine and drivetrain than is typical for this model year. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes be associated with shorter journeys or periods of standing, making a thorough check of all fluid levels and rubber seals essential. Given the lack of specific MOT flags, the physical inspection should focus on general age-related degradation of the chassis and suspension. During a test drive, listen for knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs. Ensure the steering is precise and free from any play or vibration, as these components often degrade over time regardless of the mileage covered. Verify the condition of the braking system by checking for pedal judder or any pulling to one side during deceleration, which could signal binding calipers or uneven disc wear. A visual inspection of the underbody is recommended to ensure no structural corrosion has developed in the sills or subframe, as these areas are prone to rust in older Fiestas. Finally, confirm the clutch operates smoothly without slipping to ensure the drivetrain remains in good health.
