About This Data

The 2021 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev has an MOT pass rate of 88.9% based on 3,208 tests — well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 19,509 miles on the odometer. With a 11.1% failure rate, the 2021 Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2021 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test. With relatively low average mileage of 19,509 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 8.2% of failures

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 8.2% of MOT failures on 2021 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.

Tyres — 5.4% of failures

Tyres issues account for 5.4% of MOT failures on 2021 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.

Visibility — 1.2% of failures

Visibility issues account for 1.2% of MOT failures on 2021 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev models. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage. Cracks in the windscreen swept area, ineffective wipers, or empty washer bottles are common causes. Typical repair costs: £10–300. Pre-MOT check: Check the windscreen for chips and cracks — damage larger than 10mm in the driver's swept area or 40mm elsewhere will fail. Test washers and wipers. Ensure both door mirrors are intact and adjustable.
