Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Focus (REN 5) between November 2007 and November 2025.
The record contains 19 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 46 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)”.
