Mechanical Assessment

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

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following the 7 April 2026 test at 99,835 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend is stable across the recorded interval. The sole anomaly is the 5 April 2025 test at 93,187 miles where the tester issued a fail with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, pointing to an administrative irregularity rather than mechanical fault. The mileage advanced from 82,307 at the 29 March 2023 test to 87,541 by 2 April 2024, then 93,187 at the 5 April 2025 examination, closing at 99,835 in April 2026. This trajectory averages near 5,800 miles per annum, marginally below the typical 6,656 for a 15-year-old vehicle. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear. The DVSA history is thin but free of advisories, suggesting previous owners met minimum statutory upkeep. A clean MOT ledger does not exempt the buyer from hands-on scrutiny of common wear points. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the record. Nevertheless, a 2011 Fiesta approaching six-figure mileage often conceals fatigued front lower arm bushes and rear spring fractures. The buyer should arrange a ramp inspection of subframe integrity, caliper slide operation, and exhaust hangers before completion.
