MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Ford Focus (DY12 LZP) between February 2015 and February 2025.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 17 February 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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 Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn most front bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Inner Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
