Ford Focus: what MOT records show
MOT records show 74.7% of Ford Focus cars pass the MOT first time — level with cars of the same age nationally. Counted from 93,066 DVSA tests on cars registered 2001–2022; a pass with rectification at the station counts as a pass here, and as a failure in DVSA's own initial-test measure.
A car with only minor defects or advisories still passes its MOT; a major or dangerous defect is a fail. Class 4 tests in Great Britain, test type NT (a normal annual test), retests excluded. A pass, or a pass with rectification at the station, counts as a first-time pass; DVSA's own initial-test measure counts a rectified pass as a failure and so reports a lower figure. Testing in Northern Ireland is run separately by the DVA under its own rules.

How mileage moves it

How the mileage figures are counted
Class 4 tests in Great Britain, test type NT (a normal annual test), retests excluded. A pass, or a pass with rectification at the station, counts as a first-time pass; DVSA's own initial-test measure counts a rectified pass as a failure and so reports a lower figure. Odometer readings below 100 or above 400,000 miles are discarded as misreadings, and cars under three years old are excluded because no MOT is yet due. Sampled from nine months of 2025 (January, February, April, May, July, August, September, October and November). Testing in Northern Ireland is run separately by the DVA under its own rules.

- Make sure the V5C logbook matches the seller and the vehicle, and ask for the service history.
- With the registration, run a vehicle history check (such as HPI) for outstanding finance, write-offs and theft.
- Test drive it, and ask the seller about any warranty — it is between you and them, not Autoza.
