MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 118 (DN05 MVA) between June 2007 and January 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 12 January 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (20 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Rear Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
