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 2004 Ford Focus C-Max (CE54 ARU) between August 2007 and March 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 07 March 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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: “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”; “Driver's view of the road through the swept area of the windscreen significantly affected by an obstruction (3.1 (a) (i”; “Nearside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn trailing arm (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
