MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Ford Focus (WU12 YRF) between March 2015 and December 2022.

The record contains 9 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 07 December 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
