Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 June 2025 at 61,083 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements. Following a single failure in June 2023, the vehicle has maintained two consecutive clean passes without any flagged advisories or recurring mechanical faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 42,900 miles and July 2024 at 52,424 miles, the car covered roughly 9,500 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The subsequent 8,659 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests maintain this moderate interval, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial strain which typically preserves the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure during the June 2023 test at 46,230 miles to ensure the repair was definitive. Given the age of the Ford Fiesta, a physical inspection should focus on the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Checking the brake discs for corrosion or pitting is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from surface rust if braking surfaces are not frequently used.
