Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside. The MOT history shows a progression of corrosion issues, moving from 'surface corrosion' in 2024 to 'front subframe and wishbones corroded' and 'rear axle corroded' by 2026. You should seek professional confirmation that this corrosion is merely surface-level and not structural.
Negotiate based on the documented history of suspension failures. Given that the vehicle has failed on items like 'Offside Rear Outer Suspension component mounting' in the past, ensure that all recent repairs have been carried out to a high standard. Ask for receipts for any work done to address the subframe, wishbones, and rear axle to verify the extent of the remedial work.
As a 1.2L petrol model, this Fiesta is likely to sit in a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on the vehicle's condition.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this model due to the documented issues with corrosion and suspension. Expect to budget for more frequent replacement of wear items like brake discs, pads, and coil springs. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,200.
A physical inspection of the chassis and suspension is mandatory. Specifically, check the front subframe, wishbones, and rear axle for the corrosion noted in the February 2026 MOT. Any signs of heavy scaling or thinning metal should be a deal-breaker.
Additionally, inspect the rear coil springs and suspension mountings. The vehicle has a history of failing on corroded rear coil springs and damaged suspension mounting areas. Finally, check the braking system, as the 2026 MOT noted lipped front discs and low pads, and verify that the windscreen wipers operate effectively to avoid the issues seen in 2024.
This 2006 Ford Fiesta 1.25L petrol presents a contradictory profile, combining exceptionally low mileage (34,145 miles in 20 years) with a history of significant structural and mechanical advisories. MOT records from 2024 to 2026 consistently highlight issues with underside corrosion, rear coil springs, and suspension components. While it has passed its recent tests, the pattern of deterioration suggests ongoing maintenance requirements.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with coil springs frequently cited as a top failure reason.
