AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 10 July 2025 at 55,984 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last three years, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 22 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,545 miles per year. Between 11 July 2023 and 10 July 2025, the odometer increased by 9,368 miles. This low usage suggests the car has not suffered the typical wear and tear associated with high-mileage commuters, though it may indicate periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing on the same or following day, specifically on 5 July 2023 and 11 July 2024. While the records do not list the specific defects that caused these failures, the rapid turnaround indicates the owner addressed the issues promptly. There are no recurring mentions of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake deterioration in the available data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber perishables, such as tyre sidewalls and coolant hoses, often crack on low-mileage cars due to age. Check for signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers resulting from long periods of standing. Given the age of this Ford Fiesta, a thorough check of the underbody for structural rust is essential, as the MOT record does not provide specific details on the chassis condition.
