Read from the last two years of this car's own test record, grouped by area. Each line quotes what the tester wrote and the date of the test.

No recent issue

Nothing recorded against these in the last two years of tests.

Brakes: last recorded 13 Jun 2024 (advisory), outside the two-year window. Tyres: last recorded 13 Jun 2024 (advisory), outside the two-year window. Lamps & visibility: last recorded 4 Mar 2021 (item fixed during the test), outside the two-year window. Other: last recorded 4 Mar 2021 (advisory), outside the two-year window.

You will review your order before paying, and you will be asked to sign in first. Data provided by Experian.

Check before you buy — for this car

  1. Nothing recentTyres. A top failure area for 2018 Fiestas. Recorded on this car in 2021, 2024, nothing in the last two years. Worth checking the tread depth across the whole width of each tyre, and the sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
  2. Nothing recentBrakes. A top failure area for 2018 Fiestas. Recorded on this car in 2021, 2024, nothing in the last two years. Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.
  3. Nothing recentLamps & visibility. A top failure area for 2018 Fiestas. Recorded on this car in 2021, nothing in the last two years. Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.

MOT data sourced from DVSA, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. DVSA bulk record as of 27 Sep 2026. DVLA-only fields (tax status, tax due, annual road tax, ULEZ/CO2/Euro status, export marker, wheel plan, type approval, V5C date, recalls) are not loaded until someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA". Sections 3 and 4 are SortedCars’ arithmetic on the same public record and on DVSA test statistics; they describe the record, not the car’s condition, and are not advice about buying it.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 6 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
