Mechanical Assessment

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

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 130,194 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without lingering mechanical issues, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,300 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 115,556 miles and the March 2025 test at 122,908 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 7,352 miles over the year. A further 7,286 miles were added by the April 2026 test, indicating consistent and predictable road use rather than periods of prolonged standing. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same or following day, specifically on 16 March 2024 and 13 March 2025. While the specific reasons for these failures are not detailed in the provided data, the immediate rectification suggests the owner addressed the faults promptly. There are no recurring mentions of structural corrosion, suspension bush failure, or brake disc wear across the recent history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Ford Fiesta of this age and mileage. Given the lack of advisories, priority should be placed on checking the condition of the coil springs and checking for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox. Testing the gear shift smoothness and inspecting the tyre tread depths will confirm if the owner's maintenance habits extend beyond the basic requirements of the annual MOT.
