MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 1 Series (EK54 AEM) between December 2023 and January 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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 Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
