MOT Analysis

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

33 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Ford Focus (W356 JDK) between April 2006 and August 2023.

The record contains 19 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 24 August 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (67 issues), Lighting (45 issues), Suspension (43 issues), Tyres (23 issues), Windscreen (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 174 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 Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
