The MOT is effectively the road worthiness assessment for vehicles in the UK. Usually includes the examination of a motor vehicle's safety-related systems components to ensure that they have not worn to an excessive level which would otherwise render the vehicle unsafe for use on the road.

A chassis leg repaired with filler! That's criminal.

At least in your country it's not for the same price as the ones that never crashed.

now crash it against a 19.5 foot 4,800lb 1986 lincoln town car (signature series)

Bet you i can go get hamburgers after TKO'ing both them ford focuses and not have more damage then polishing the scratches off my chrome covered 1/2" steel bumper.

Besides i've got 7 foot of hood of front of my dash, that's more then half the length of your focus.

@adamc260 Interesting that, and the mileage and registration are different in the ad too. But the MOT was for X882VUF, so the point remains... :o/

I like how the ad was for a 1.8 LX focus and the MOT was for a 1.6 Ghia :) lol

@Szmajdziul yes what ever the letter is at the start thats what age it is and it stays until the car gets scrapped

This is a case of substandard repairs. However, as long as the partially informed think any car that's been wrecked is bad, I'll buy the ones that have been fixed right for a lot less money.

@1043studios Oh you bastard! Who gives a damn about the US thing? What nationality was the RAC guy from? Yes. The UK. My 2nd hand Rover 45 was repaired well after it was in a minor crash but I made sure it was checked as well as this. Stop going on about The US is sooo much better!! F*** off!
