MOT Analysis

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

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Fiesta (MA53 VPT) between April 2007 and April 2011.

The record contains 5 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 16 April 2011 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 2 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: “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”.
