Mechanical Assessment

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

The 2018 Ford Fiesta has a mixed MOT history, with recent issues indicating recurring mechanical and safety concerns. The most recent MOT on 2025-09-18 shows a failure with repeated brake disc wear (nearside and offside rear discs) and a new headlamp aim issue. These brake disc problems were also noted in earlier MOTs, suggesting a pattern of gradual wear rather than sudden deterioration. However, the same date lists a pass for the same vehicle, creating ambiguity about the exact outcome. This inconsistency may reflect administrative errors or separate tests, but buyers should verify the true status with the DVSA. Recurring issues include brake disc wear, body damage to the nearside front wing, and engine MIL (Check Engine Light) malfunctions. Brake disc wear has been flagged in multiple MOTs, though never as critical. The engine MIL inoperative issue appears in 2025 and 2023, indicating a potential unresolved fault that could affect emissions or engine performance. Tyre wear was a concern in 2023 but not in 2025, suggesting possible replacement or improved maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 81,144 miles for an 8-year-old car is typical , averaging ~10,143 miles per year.
