MOT Analysis

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

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Fiesta (FM04 EPD) between June 2007 and August 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 05 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (20 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn excessive play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn Split (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
