MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Focus (NG08 VEX) between April 2011 and September 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 23 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
