MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Focus (NC52 GVU) between February 2006 and June 2018.

The record contains 11 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 19 June 2018 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (21 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
