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

The roadworthiness status of this 2009 Ford Fiesta is currently valid, anchored by an MOT pass on the fourth of October 2025 at 104,643 miles. This latest test followed an initial failure on the same day, though the DVSA record does not specify the exact grounds for that refusal. The maintenance trend appears broadly stable across the timeline, mirroring a similar pattern from August 2023 where the vehicle failed its initial examination before securing a pass later that same day. The vehicle has accumulated 104,643 miles over its seventeen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,155 miles annually, which sits well within typical UK usage parameters. The MOT data set is sparse regarding specific component advisories, containing zero advisory notes across the recorded tests in August 2023, September 2024, and October 2025. This lack of recorded advisories does not guarantee a lack of wear, but rather indicates that previous examiners did not formally log developing defects during those specific annual inspections. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural floorpan areas, as these components frequently succumb to age-related fatigue on this platform regardless of clean MOT test sheets. Given that the history shows two same-day rectification passes without documented defect descriptions, a detailed ramp inspection is necessary to verify the condition of the brake calipers, exhaust system, and structural integrity.
