MOT Analysis

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

8 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 BMW 525 (N70 MBH) between September 2006 and October 2011.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
