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 (LF02 ECY) between January 2006 and February 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 26 February 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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: “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”; “Horn not working (1.6.2a)”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
