MOT Analysis

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

6 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Fiesta (R187 KSG) between May 2006 and May 2010.

The record contains 5 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 10 May 2010 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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: “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Rear fog lamp not working (1.3.2b)”.
