MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 530 (DG55 AEP) between August 2008 and September 2023.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 21 September 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 exceed level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (8.2.2.2 (b))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
