MOT Analysis

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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Ford Fiesta (P832 OFL) between August 2006 and February 2010.

The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 24 February 2010 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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: “Offside Rear rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”; “Offside Rear rear brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.5a)”; “Rear rear brake application uneven (3.7.B.2)”.
