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

The 2024‑01‑29 MOT at 110,547 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Fiesta remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. The previous test on 2023‑01‑20 at 102,026 miles also passed with no defects, despite a failure being logged on the same day, indicating that any issue was minor and did not affect roadworthiness. The mileage has risen from 94,044 miles in January 2022 to 102,026 miles in January 2023 and then to 110,547 miles in January 2024, an increase of roughly 8,000 miles over two years, which averages about 4,000 miles per year for a 23‑year‑old vehicle. Such a pattern suggests periods of regular use interspersed with longer intervals of low activity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for rust that could affect structural integrity, as the age of the car combined with the mileage pattern may accelerate deterioration of these components. The exhaust system and tyre tread should also be assessed for signs of uneven wear or corrosion.
