MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 BMW 745 (LK53 UPE) between November 2005 and June 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 23 June 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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: “Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded sections of front to rears x2 by fuel tank (1.1.11 (c))”; “Rear Tyre(s) incorrect because tyres with different aspect ratios are fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)”; “Rear Tyre(s) incorrect because different size tyres are fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)”.
