MOT Analysis

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

35 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Focus (S383 EBX) between February 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 15 failures.

The most recent test on 11 February 2026 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (79 issues), Lighting (53 issues), Brakes (46 issues), Tyres (16 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 182 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: “Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
