CV06 VTF MOT History
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 2006 BMW M5 (CV06 VTF) between May 2009 and February 2013.
The record contains 6 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 15 February 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 4 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 Rear Wheel bolt(s) missing (4.2.A.1e)”; “Offside Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”.
Common Problems: BMW M5
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Rod Bearing Wear / Throttle Actuator Failure(Serious)
The V10 E60/E61 M5 is notorious for rod-bearing wear and failing throttle actuators. Both can turn a cheap-looking car into a huge engine bill.
- SMG / DCT / Transmission Heat Stress(Serious)
Fast M5s punish transmissions. E60 SMG hydraulic components, F10 DCT heat stress, and even later automatic driveline components all suffer if the car has been launched repeatedly.
