2006 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · WC06 ADM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the 27 September 2025 test at 35,197 miles. While the record shows a failure just twelve days prior on 15 September at 34,815 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has consistently maintained a passing record without any flagged advisories or recurring faults. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 1,760 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 6,724 miles, which represents a significant spike compared to previous annual averages but remains well below the national average. This low usage suggests the car was likely used for short trips or sat for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and internal corrosion due to lack of airflow. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components associated with low-mileage, aged vehicles. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee the absence of dry-rotted suspension bushes or perished brake hoses caused by age. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, and check the tyres for sidewall cracking despite potentially having deep tread depth. Given the age, a thorough check of the structural sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that corrosion has not compromised the chassis integrity.
