MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Focus (EF05 KBJ) between October 2022 and October 2024.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 21 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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 Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”.
