MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Ford Focus (EJ52 XJM) between February 2006 and July 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 14 July 2016 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: Lighting (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
