# 1982 Ford Fiesta Supersport – MOT Analysis
This 1982 Fiesta Supersport has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is well below the UK average of 80%, though the tiny sample size of 102 vehicles suggests these are mostly preserved classics or vehicles tested after long periods off the road rather than regular daily drivers. None of the cars in this cohort recorded dangerous defects, so safety-critical failures aren't the issue here.
The zero average failures and advisories per vehicle is unusual and likely reflects that many of these Fiestas are either heavily restored showpieces or have been substantially rebuilt before MOT submission, rather than typical secondhand stock. If you're considering a 1982 Fiesta Supersport, expect it to need meaningful work to pass first-time unless it's been recently recommissioned by a specialist—budget for both MOT remedials and pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with 40-year-old Ford mechanics.
We have 102 1982 Ford Fiesta Supersport vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1982 Ford Fiesta Supersport
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
