MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Fiesta (V855 EBL) between August 2005 and June 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 04 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (52 issues), Lighting (29 issues), Suspension (24 issues), Bodywork (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 98 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 Front Seat belt webbing significantly weakened (7.1.2 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn beam axle (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn beam axle bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
