MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Fiesta (MK55 DZE) between December 2008 and January 2018.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 06 January 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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: “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
