Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2025-05-30 MOT shows a mixed outcome for the 2008 Ford Fiesta, with a pass and fail recorded on the same day. The fail cited a cut in the offside rear tyre (5.2.3 (d) (i)) and a deteriorated front registration plate (0.1 (b)). The pass included the same registration plate issue but no other failures. This suggests the vehicle met basic standards but had unresolved tyre damage. Recurring issues include tyre damage and coil spring corrosion . The 2024-06-04 MOTs (both pass and fail) noted cracked or cut tyres, with the fail highlighting a cut deep enough to expose ply/cords. Coil springs corroded in 2023 and 2024, with the 2024 fail also citing a distorted rear wheel and a corroded brake pipe. These indicate ongoing exposure to moisture or poor maintenance, though not immediately safety-critical. The condition trend shows moderate risk . While some issues (e.g., registration plates) are minor and recurring, tyre and suspension problems worsened between 2023 and 2024.
