MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Ford Fiesta (FA52 UED) between November 2005 and August 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 20 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (16 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases Emission could not be tested (7.1.2)”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3)”; “Offside Front Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”.
