MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Focus (NH08 UKS) between June 2011 and November 2020.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 14 November 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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: “Headlamp aim not tested (4.1.2 (b))”; “Exhaust shield missing where fitted as original equipment creating a risk of fire exhaust shield insecure (6.1.3 (e))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”.
