MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Ford Fiesta (S245 AMA) between October 2023 and October 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”.
