MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Ford Focus (MT51 VCK) between November 2006 and December 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 08 December 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (23 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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: “Brake hydraulic reservoir fluid level significantly below minimum level (1.1.10 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”.
