2000 FORD FIESTA1.2L PETROL

The 2000 Ford Fiesta has a mixed MOT history, with recent issues indicating recurring mechanical and corrosion risks. The most recent MOT on 2010-09-14 recorded a pass, but it highlighted nearside and offside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, deteriorated front suspension arm rubber bushes, and worn front brake pads with corroded discs and metal brake pipes. These issues suggest ongoing wear in critical areas like braking and suspension, which are essential for safety. A prior MOT on 2010-09-13, just one day earlier, resulted in a fail due to a fractured offside front coil spring, a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber, and tyres below the 1.6mm tread limit. This rapid succession of pass and fail raises questions about whether repairs were fully addressed or if the vehicle was rushed through testing. The 2009 MOTs show similar patterns: corrosion on brake pipes, suspension bushes, and vehicle structure, alongside tyres nearing legal limits. The trend of corrosion, suspension wear, and brake-related defects appears stable but persistent. While the 2007 MOT showed no defects, subsequent reports from 2009 onward reveal a gradual escalation of issues, particularly in braking systems and structural components. The 2010 pass suggests some repairs were made, but the proximity of the fail and pass implies potential temporary fixes rather than long-term solutions. The vehicle’s low mileage of 94,555 miles over 26 years equates to roughly 3,637 miles annually, which is significantly below average.
