MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Ford Fiesta (R488 FAN) between September 2012 and September 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 25 September 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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: “Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Front brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (3.5.1i)”.
