MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Ford Fiesta (R760 FGD) between October 2006 and June 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 03 June 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (46 issues), Brakes (41 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Bodywork (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 120 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 Bumper insecure (6.1.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Nearside Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength INNER SI”.
