MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Fiesta (BD53 HCX) between October 2006 and November 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 04 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (46 issues), Tyres (20 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 76 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Bonnet cannot be secured in the closed position (3.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”.
