MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Focus (V271 JAR) between August 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 30 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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: “Offside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
