MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Ford Fiesta (ML52 LKZ) between October 2005 and September 2024.

The record contains 19 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Offside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Hydraulic brake calliper inadequately mounted spring (1.1.16 (c) (i))”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.
