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 2008 Ford Focus (DS08 VRZ) between May 2011 and July 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 27 July 2026 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 (10 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Front Exhaust system insecure (6.1.2 (a))”.
