2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SH56 ADO

The most recent MOT cycle shows the vehicle secured a pass on 17 August 2024 at 107,899 miles after an initial fail on the same date that listed no defects. Prior to that, the August 2023 test produced a pass on 5 August at 93,738 miles following a fail with no defects on 4 August. The maintenance trend is stable, with no mechanical advisories or recorded faults across the available records from August 2022 onward. The recorded mileage indicates light use for a 2006 registered car. In the August 2022 test at 82,978 miles the car passed cleanly. Twelve months later it had covered 93,738 miles, an annual addition of 10,760. By August 2024 the odometer read 107,899 miles, showing 14,161 miles added in the intervening year. This gradual rise remains below typical for the age. The supplied history is sparse before 2022, yet what exists reveals no consumable wear flags or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. The Fiesta's suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers may exhibit degradation from long stationary periods despite low mileage. The tester logged no corrosion advisories, but structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checking for rust. Exhaust emissions systems on a twenty-year-old petrol engine often suffer silent rot not captured in a clean MOT. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern with zero defects suggests previous owners faced administrative hurdles rather than mechanical faults. Such behaviour implies test preparation was rushed or documentation incomplete. Verify the V5C and prior upkeep receipts before purchase.
