MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Ford Focus (YX58 VBZ) between August 2011 and January 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 22 January 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (20 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Bodywork (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 50 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: “Exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 ”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords and tyre tread close t”.
