2006 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · MH06 XSN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent pass on June 7 2024 at 78,251 miles where no defects were recorded. While the history shows two failures immediately preceding passes in both 2020 and 2024, these appear to be resolved issues rather than recurring mechanical faults. The previous owners were proactive in rectifying defects to meet compliance standards, preventing a trend of mechanical degradation or structural neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between March 2019 and November 2020, during which the car covered roughly 6,500 miles over twenty months. Between the November 2020 and June 2024 tests, the vehicle covered only 4,113 miles. This low usage suggests intermittent use or long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown regardless of the low mechanical wear indicated. A buyer should focus on inspecting the structural integrity of the chassis and s pans, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related corrosion that MOT tests may not fully catch early. Given the long intervals between use, check for perished suspension bushes, cracked brake hoses, and seized calipers that may result from disuse. Verify the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking to ensure the low mileage has not masked material fatigue, as the recent MOT record does not detail any specific consumable-related faults.
