2006 Ford Fiesta ST 2.0L Petrol · TLZ 9197

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean pass record over the last three years. Following the most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 101,641 miles, the car passed without any defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous owner has successfully maintained the mechanical and safety systems to a passing standard, moving past the single failure recorded in early 2021. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 10,969 miles between the April 2022 and March 2023 tests, followed by an increase of 12,806 miles between March 2023 and September 2024. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has not undergone heavy strain on drivetrain or suspension components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid corrosion which is not always captured by the MOT tester. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in recent tests, a buyer must physically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as the 2006 Fiesta ST is prone to corrosion in specific areas. The low mileage does not exempt the car from aging suspension bushes and control arms, which often crack over two decades regardless of distance driven. You should also check the brake discs for signs of pitting or seized calipers, as low-frequency use can cause the braking components to rust due to inactivity.
