MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Focus (GJ53 NXT) between June 2006 and October 2024.

The record contains 20 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 11 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (30 issues), Brakes (23 issues), Tyres (22 issues), Lighting (21 issues), Bodywork (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Coil spring corroded so that its cross sectional area is reduced and seriously weakened (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Coil spring corroded so that its cross sectional area is reduced and seriously weakened (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm o”.
