Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2026-06-18 test on the 125,841-mile 2012 FORD FIESTA has resulted in a roadworthiness verdict of non-compliant, with a clear pattern of deterioration. The most recent test on 2025-11-12 yielded a PASSED result, but this was immediately followed by a FAILED entry on the same date, indicating that the vehicle's mechanical condition has not remained stable. The failure to maintain a passing score over the past two years suggests that the owner has not adhered to a consistent maintenance schedule or that major components have degraded significantly since the last MOT. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle is approximately 14 years old with 125,841 recorded miles, which is consistent with its age but reveals a distinct gap in the maintenance history. The most recent test was conducted on 2025-11-12, yet the vehicle has not been MOTed since 2024-11-12, creating a 3-year gap between the last inspection and the current date. This interval is significant for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that the owner may have neglected routine checks or that the accumulated wear on the drivetrain and suspension has exceeded the limits of the test. Given the recurring failure in the rear direction indicator, the offside headlamp, and the coil spring fracture, the vehicle exhibits structural and mechanical risks that require immediate professional assessment. The owner should inspect the rear suspension, brake components, and exhaust systems for corrosion and binding calipers. The presence of a coil spring fracture and a failing direction indicator indicates that the vehicle is in a state of serious structural instability, necessitating immediate removal from circulation and potential restoration work.
