MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Fiesta (SM03 UJR) between April 2006 and October 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced sill (6”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”.
