Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle presents in a good roadworthy condition, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over the recent years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 77,590 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following several clean passes in the previous three years. This suggests that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets all essential safety and emissions requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of 22 years' age, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent and low-intensity pattern, moving from 70,110 miles in October 2021 to 77,590 miles in 2025. While low mileage often indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the car has sat for extended periods. While the most recent tests are clear, the 2022 inspection at 71,934 miles identified both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. Although these were rectified before subsequent tests, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the current tyres to ensure they have sufficient tread and even wear. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check should also be conducted for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension points, as these are common areas of concern for this era of Fiesta regardless of mileage.
