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

The 2008 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 at 100,727 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable with no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds across the available history. The record shows a clean roadworthiness status at present, though two earlier tests produced administrative failures with no defects listed. Mileage stands at 100,727 on an 18-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,596 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests lighter use or periods of standing. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 90,891 miles at the June 2023 test, 95,634 at June 2024, and 100,727 by June 2025, a gain of about 4,700 to 5,100 miles each year. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions issues ever flagged. The June 2024 and June 2025 failures at identical mileages to the following passes (95,634 and 100,727 respectively) indicate no defects were found; these were likely documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Previous owners appear to have kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, with no recurring wear trends on tyres, discs, or bushes. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related structural rust on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration from low-use standing, and confirm brake calipers are free and not binding after the car's intermittent lay-up periods. Verify the exhaust and emissions system given the vehicle's 2008 vintage and Euro standards before purchase.
