2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NG56 WLD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 17 October 2025 at 89,790 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure just nine days prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The vehicle has successfully met minimum safety standards throughout its recent inspection history. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 79,613 miles and October 2025 at 89,790 miles, the car covered just 10,177 miles. This low usage frequency indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average-use cars. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the stagnation of fluids, which is not always captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Fiesta models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check suspension bushes and bushings that may have perished due to age rather than distance. The brake system should also be examined for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation and binding. While the record is clean, the age of the vehicle remains the primary risk factor for long-term reliability.
