Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2026-03-19 MOT for the 2017 Ford Fiesta resulted in a fail due to excessive wear in the rear axle swivel pins and bushes (both nearside and offside), along with ongoing tyre issues. The nearside rear inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and the offside rear tyre showed perishing or cracking. A separate pass on the same date noted the same tyre wear, indicating the issue was not fully resolved. This suggests persistent problems with tyre condition and a critical suspension component. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and damage , documented in multiple MOTs from 2024 to 2026. The nearside rear tyre was flagged as worn close to the legal limit in 2024, 2025, and 2026, while the offside rear tyre showed perishing in 2026. The 2025 MOT also noted a non-functional nearside stop lamp, and the 2026 MOT added a failed registration plate lamp. These issues point to a lack of regular maintenance or potential neglect of safety-critical components. The trend appears to be worsening , particularly with the 2026 MOT introducing a severe suspension fault (rear axle swivel pins and bushes). While tyre wear has been consistent, the new axle issue indicates a more urgent risk to handling and safety.
