FA52 AWW MOT History

Vehicle record last updated: 15 Oct 2026, 08:31

MOT Analysis

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

31 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Focus (FA52 AWW) between March 2006 and July 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 24 July 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 40 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
