MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Focus (YY03 OZA) between May 2006 and May 2016.

The record contains 10 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 27 May 2016 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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 Headlamp aim too high (1.8)”; “Nearside Outer Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded sill (5.2.6)”; “Nearside Rear Inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded sill (5.2.6)”.
