MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 BMW X5 (LF03 FXT) between April 2006 and August 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 25 August 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded above subframe (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded above subframe (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
