MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Fiesta (PL53 HKP) between December 2006 and August 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 13 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Brake performance not tested (1.2.1 (g))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system (1.1.11 (b) (ii))”.
