2006 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WU56 PHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑04 at 55 465 miles showing a pass with only minor advisories: front tyres with slight cracking, and a power‑steering component leaking from the header‑tank area. The maintenance trend is improving; earlier records show repeated brake‑disc wear, corroded brake pipes, steering‑rack play and a failed wiper test in late 2023, yet those issues have not reappeared in the two subsequent passes. The pattern suggests that past faults have been addressed and the car now presents a stable, low‑advisory profile. Mileage accumulation remains low for a 2006 model. Between 2025‑11‑04 (55 465 mi) and 2024‑11‑08 (54 528 mi) the car added roughly 937 mi, and the jump from 2024 to 2023 was only about 438 mi. The annual increase of roughly 2 700–3 000 mi aligns with the overall average of 2 773 mi per year, indicating light use or extended periods of storage. MOT entries are spaced roughly yearly, with occasional single‑year gaps, but the data set is consistent and recent. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for the reported cracking, check the power‑steering system for any fluid seepage at the header tank, and examine the brake discs and pipes for corrosion or pitting. The steering rack inner joint should be tested for play, the lower ball‑joint boots and anti‑roll bar linkage for deterioration, and the underbody for the corrosion noted in the 2022 test. These components have recurred in the history and are critical to the car’s handling and structural integrity. Overall the MOT history points to a well‑cared‑for vehicle for its age, with only minor consumables requiring attention. A thorough visual and mechanical check of the flagged areas will confirm whether the low‑mileage pattern has been matched by diligent component maintenance.
