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

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 8 December 2025 at 109,332 miles. The recent test record appears stable, with no defects or advisories logged during the last three annual inspections. While the vehicle failed tests on 19 December 2024 and 11 December 2023, the absence of recorded failure items suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor rectifications performed on-site rather than significant mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 109,332 over eighteen years averages approximately 6,074 miles per annum, which remains consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady accumulation without evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-mileage wear. The lack of recurring advisories in the recent history indicates that basic consumable items have been managed to meet minimum roadworthiness standards at the time of testing. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframe, as the MOT record does not account for hidden structural corrosion common in Ford Fiestas of this vintage. Prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, as these components often deteriorate due to age regardless of passing test results. Verify the operation of the parking brake and ensure there is no evidence of binding calipers or uneven pad wear, as these are frequent points of failure for this model that may not always be captured as advisories during a standard inspection. Buying score 75. Risk level Low.
