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

The 2008 Ford Fiesta shows a passed MOT from 12 October 2022 at 119,215 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at last test. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record carries an odd pattern: on both 11 October 2021 at 108,999 miles and 12 October 2022 at 119,215 miles the car failed and passed on the same day with no defects logged. This suggests administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and gives no evidence of worsening or resolving faults across the two years covered. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,623 miles per year against an 18-year life, which is typical for the age. The recorded distance moved only 10,216 miles between the October 2021 and October 2022 tests, a modest 12-month accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse, with just two years of entries and a clean defect sheet at each stage, so no rapid wear or long-standing gap is visible beyond the twin fail-pass pairs already noted. Because no advisories or defects appear in the history, the record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current without flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody for rust given the vehicle's 2008 build and 119,215 miles, as MOT cleanliness does not confirm absence of age-related deterioration. In person, check coil springs, steering joints, and tyre condition for consumable wear not captured by the tests. Verify the repeated same-day fail-pass entries with the seller to confirm they were clerical rather than concealed mechanical rejects before purchase.
