2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CF68 FSN

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-22 recorded a failure with multiple lighting issues, including non-functional stop and position lamps, and incorrect colour on daytime running lamps. These were noted at the same mileage (97,637 miles) as a previous passed MOT, suggesting potential oversight or repeated faults in the vehicle’s lighting system. The failure highlights a safety risk, as faulty lamps can compromise visibility and braking signals. Previous MOTs show a mixed pattern. A 2024-01-22 test revealed brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored, and a rear tyre near the legal limit. These issues were addressed before a 2024-07-31 passed MOT, indicating repairs were made. However, the 2025 failure suggests recurring electrical or maintenance concerns, particularly with lighting components. No other major defects were recorded in 2023 or 2024, but the 2025 failure introduces a new risk. The vehicle’s mileage of 97,637 miles at 7 years old equates to approximately 13,948 miles per year, which is higher than average for its age. This could indicate frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension components.
