MOT Analysis

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

33 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Fiesta (R455 FBE) between March 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 24 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (57 issues), Lighting (48 issues), Suspension (27 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Bodywork (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 135 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: “Central Front Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stre”.
