MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Ford Focus (MJ55 MHK) between October 2008 and December 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 11 December 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
