MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW 525 (X129 FLH) between December 2005 and October 2013.

The record contains 8 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 15 October 2013 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: Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues). 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: “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Registration plate lamp insecure (1.1.C.1c)”; “Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”.
