MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Focus (T262 ELG) between February 2006 and November 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 15 November 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”.
