MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Focus (N14 HFC) between December 2011 and February 2024.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 14 February 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (18 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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: “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
