MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Ford Focus (SV52 AVO) between September 2005 and July 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 16 July 2015 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (22 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 49 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: “Nearside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter insecure to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dir”; “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f)”; “Offside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents t”.
