MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Ford Fiesta (EJ51 JCV) between October 2005 and November 2017.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 14 November 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (21 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Service brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
