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 1996 Ford Fiesta (P875 PUB) between February 2006 and May 2013.

The record contains 9 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 11 May 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 5 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 Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Offside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”.
