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 2009 BMW 120 (EA59 UBY) between November 2012 and November 2025.

The record contains 14 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 03 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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: “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Parking (secondary brake) on a single line braking system has inadequate effort at a wheel (1.3.1 (a) (i)”; “Offside Rear Road wheel more than one fixing missing wheel bolt missing (5.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
