2005 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · EO05 AEX

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as evidenced by a single failed MOT test recorded on 2024-06-04 at 133,734 miles. This failure occurred immediately prior to the current date, indicating that the vehicle has not undergone a full safety check since the most recent inspection. The failure was flagged as a single defect without any associated engine or electrical faults, suggesting that the mechanical system itself is intact but the test was conducted too early for the vehicle to meet safety standards. The maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of instability, with the vehicle failing twice in a row on the 2023-05-15 and 2023-05-18 tests. This sequence of failures, occurring approximately six months apart, is a definitive indicator of an ongoing trend of deterioration rather than a temporary glitch. The gap between the two failures is significant, suggesting that the vehicle has not been serviced or monitored since the previous failed test, which has likely compromised the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the history of two consecutive failures, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the presence of structural rust, particularly in the suspension bushings, brake disc wear, and exhaust emissions. The vehicle is not in good condition, as the previous failed test was conducted well before the current date, leaving the car vulnerable to further damage. While the engine and electrical systems appear sound, the lack of recent servicing and the history of repeated failures warrant a thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust components to assess structural integrity and identify any immediate hazards.
