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 1992 BMW 520 (WIJ 8088) between July 2006 and December 2017.

The record contains 11 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 07 December 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Steering (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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: “Brake performance not tested (3.7.A.1)”; “Offside Rear Inner Anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting fractured (2.4.G.1)”; “Offside Rear Outer Sub-frame rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
