MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Ford Focus (LM55 RCU) between February 2009 and March 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 06 March 2023 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: Lighting (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an induction leak (8.2.2.1 (b))”; “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”.
