MOT Analysis

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

10 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 120 (PJ55 VHB) between January 2009 and July 2016.

The record contains 8 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
