MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Focus (BK08 ADZ) between March 2011 and April 2018.

The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases front flexi broken (7.1.2)”.
