MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Ford Focus (RA51 AMV) between November 2005 and November 2023.

The record contains 19 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 03 November 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 39 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 Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
