2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MJ60 DWC

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 recorded minor issues, including cracking on the offside rear tyre, a chip on the offside windscreen, and deterioration of both driver and passenger door pillars. These were classified as advisory notes, not safety-critical defects. The vehicle passed the test, but the recurring tyre damage and structural corrosion suggest potential neglect or environmental exposure. A suspension arm ball joint failure was recorded in 2025-03-12, which was addressed before the subsequent MOT. However, the same vehicle had a suspension-related defect in 2025, indicating a possible underlying issue with the front suspension system. This defect was not repeated in later tests, but its presence highlights the need to verify repairs and inspect for ongoing wear. Tyre-related issues have appeared in multiple MOTs, including cracking, perishing, and wear near the legal limit. These patterns suggest either consistent under-inflation, exposure to harsh conditions, or insufficient maintenance. The 2023 MOT also noted a worn front tyre, which may indicate a recurring problem with tyre pressure monitoring or alignment. The vehicle’s mileage of 121,423 miles is typical for its age, averaging around 7,589 miles per year.
