MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Fiesta (FL03 DLD) between March 2006 and November 2015.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 25 November 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Offside Front Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”.
