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 2008 Ford Focus (MA08 RMX) between March 2011 and June 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 30 June 2026 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (23 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
