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 (NJ58 UTS) between February 2012 and May 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 11 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (27 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 66 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: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component pin or bush excessively worn Trailing arm bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
