Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 68,277 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining the trend established across the previous inspections. This suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not exhibit recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger DVSA warnings. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,277 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, such as the 5,365-mile interval between September 2023 and June 2025. The six-month gap between the March and September 2022 tests at relatively low mileages indicates a period of more frequent use or proactive testing, yet the vehicle remained compliant throughout that period. The low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples of this era. Because the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use rather than mechanical wear. Rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, split boots, and tyres may perish or crack due to age and sitting rather than distance. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion or uneven pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface rust or seized calipers. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and arches for early corrosion remains essential for a Fiesta of this age despite the clean digital history.
