MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Fiesta (FD53 UEL) between January 2007 and January 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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: “Nearside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Exhaust emits an excessive level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (7.4.B.3b)”.
