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 1993 Ford Fiesta (L290 HUX) between October 2007 and June 2026.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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: “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (3.4.1c)”; “Steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) (2.2.A.1b)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
