2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MT56 AEU

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 17 December 2025 at 107,253 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five examinations from 10 November 2021 to December 2025, the vehicle cleared each assessment without advisories, indicating a consistent maintenance trend that is neither worsening nor resolving because no faults emerged. This clean sweep suggests the previous keepers addressed any required work before each test. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a twenty-year-old car. The record shows 99,597 miles on 10 November 2021, rising to 101,288 by 16 November 2022, then 104,297 on 6 November 2023, 106,458 on 8 November 2024, and 107,253 on 17 December 2025. That equates to roughly 1,700 miles in the first interval and under 3,000 miles annually thereafter, confirming a low-use pattern of about 5,363 miles per year overall. No gaps exceed thirteen months between tests, so the history is continuous and sparse in negative entries. With no recurrent mechanical or structural defects logged, the buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of age-related components that MOT tests may not flag until failure. The tester recorded no corrosion or suspension issues, yet a 2006 chassis may harbour hidden rust in sills or subframes, and rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could degrade through lack of use rather than wear. Inspection should target brake disc condition, handbrake efficiency, and tyre sidewall cracking given the low mileage and possible standing periods. The absence of advisories on consumables such as wiper blades or tyres implies basic upkeep was not skipped, but the buyer must verify actual tread depth and screenwash operation in person. Overall, the documentary evidence supports a well-maintained, lightly used hatchback, though pre-purchase scrutiny of structural integrity and dormant-component perishables remains prudent.
