MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Ford Focus (V588 FEL) between August 2005 and October 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 09 October 2021 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Inner Tyre fouling a part of the vehicle wheel liner (5.2.3 (f))”; “Offside Rear Inner Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill wheel arch area”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases flexy (6.1.2 (a))”.
