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 1999 Ford Focus (T142 EFJ) between December 2005 and December 2017.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 44 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.
