Our Verdict
Highly recommended for a budget-conscious buyer. This 2006 Blue Ford Fiesta shows an exceptional record of maintenance and stability, making it a safe bet for a city car.
Given the lack of MOT defects over the last four years, this car has likely been well-maintained. Your primary focus should be on the service history; ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly despite the low annual mileage, as short trips can be hard on an engine.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the condition of the interior, as these are the most likely areas of wear for a 20-year-old vehicle. Check for any evidence of recent major work, such as a timing belt replacement, which is critical for this engine's longevity.
The 1388cc petrol engine offers a balanced blend of performance and economy, typically falling into a mid-range tax band for its era. Insurance costs for the Fiesta are generally low, making it an affordable option for new drivers or those looking for a second family car.
Maintenance costs should remain modest given the vehicle's stable history. Expect standard costs for annual servicing and consumables, with fuel economy remaining competitive for a petrol engine of this displacement.
While the MOT history is impressively clean, you should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust, a common issue for cars of this vintage in the UK. Check the suspension components for any signs of wear that may not have reached a failure threshold during the last test.
Pay close attention to the blue paintwork for any fading or clear-coat peel, and check the electronics—including the radio and window motors—to ensure everything is functioning correctly, as these components can degrade over two decades.
This vehicle is in remarkably good condition for its age, boasting a clean MOT history with no defects recorded since 2021. With a total mileage of 86,148 miles, it has been used sparingly in recent years, as evidenced by the small mileage increments between 2022 and 2025. It represents a low-risk entry into ownership for those seeking a reliable 1.4L petrol hatchback.
The Ford Fiesta of this era is generally regarded as a robust and dependable supermini, though specific aggregate data for this exact trim is unavailable.
