MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Focus (LA04 AMU) between July 2007 and June 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 24 June 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: Tyres (15 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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: “Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Inner Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure sidewall (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
