MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW X5 (E8 KSD) between September 2006 and May 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 26 May 2021 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: Lighting (33 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 63 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: “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn rear (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Position lamp light intensity significantly reduced (4.2.3 (a) (ii))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
