1999 FORD FIESTA1.3L PETROL

The 1999 Ford Fiesta has a limited and inconsistent MOT history, with the most recent recorded test on 2009-05-12. This is over 15 years ago, suggesting the vehicle may not have been retested or maintained to current standards. The last recorded mileage of 15,487 miles indicates an average of 574 miles per year, far below typical usage for a 27-year-old vehicle. This low mileage could imply long periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion, dry rot, and component degradation. The 2009 MOT records show conflicting outcomes on the same date: a fail for headlamp alignment, brake disc wear, and tyre tread, followed by a pass for the same issues. This inconsistency may indicate incomplete repairs, data entry errors, or a split test result. The 2008 MOT included a fail for a fractured coil spring, corroded seat belt anchorage, and underperforming parking brake, suggesting potential suspension and safety system vulnerabilities. Earlier MOTs in 2006 and 2008 were clean, but these later issues highlight a shift toward mechanical and safety concerns. The recurring defects—brake disc wear, tyre tread limits, and suspension components—suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. While the 2009 pass implies some issues were addressed, the presence of similar defects in the same test raises questions about the effectiveness of repairs.
