MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 530 (RK52 UDV) between April 2007 and January 2016.

The record contains 9 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 06 January 2016 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 (20 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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: “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”; “Nearside Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
