MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 116 (DS54 LCA) between February 2008 and May 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 06 May 2025 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: Brakes (26 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 51 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 Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength SUBFR”; “Electrical wiring inadequately supported Under bonnet and routed through bonnet catch.... likely to cause a short. (1”.
