Mechanical Assessment

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

The Ford Fiesta stands roadworthy as of its 19 December 2025 MOT at 120,663 miles, where the tester logged no defects. The maintenance trend reads stable across the five available records from December 2022 to December 2025, with no advisories or mechanical faults raised. A anomalous failure appears on the same date at 120,660 miles carrying no defect entries, followed three miles later by a clean pass; this signals a procedural anomaly rather than a worsening condition. The mileage trace shows typical supermini use at roughly 8,600 miles per year over fourteen years. The keeper recorded 112,654 miles on 23 December 2022, 115,314 on 15 December 2023, 117,977 on 13 December 2024, and 120,663 by 19 December 2025. Annual tests with steady accumulation indicate consistent statutory compliance and no long dormant periods. The sparse yet clean ledger implies previous owners met minimum legal checks but offers no evidence of proactive renewal of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-prone structures and mechanisms. Examine front coil springs, suspension bushes and subframe mounts for corrosion or fracture, as the 2012 shell may hide rust unseen on a pass-day lift. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper freedom; the absence of binding calipers in the record does not certify condition months later. Check exhaust emissions integrity and tyre tread across all corners, and scrutinise the unexplained 2025 failure paperwork to rule out clerical error or odometer mismatch.
