MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Ford Focus (WJ59 WHU) between September 2012 and September 2025.

The record contains 14 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 27 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Headlamp aim too high (bulb not fitted correctly) (4.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
