2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · RE56 ETA

The 2006 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test, with a pass recorded on 12 November 2025 at 116,284 miles and no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The duplicate failed entry logged on the same date with no defects recorded points to an administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Mileage sits at 116,284 against a 20-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,814 miles per year. The records show 92,427 miles on 24 October 2023, then 93,304 miles by 16 October 2024, and a jump to 116,284 by November 2025. That final 23,000-mile surge follows two years of near-dormant use, suggesting the car stood idle before a recent high-use period. Prior to 2023 the record is sparse, so earlier wear patterns cannot be assessed from this data alone. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, given the age and the long standing period implied by low interim mileage. The tester flagged no binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions issues, but 20-year-old rubber components and brake discs degrade with time regardless of recorded faults. Check the coil springs and track rod ends for age-related fatigue, and confirm the tyres fitted are not the original or long-aged units from the standing period. The clean MOT trail is reassuring, yet the absence of advisories on a vehicle of this vintage often reflects test tolerance rather than confirmed component health.
