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 1988 BMW 635 (F586 LVO) between May 2006 and January 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2026 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 (25 issues), Lighting (17 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Battery insecure (1.9.1)”; “Nearside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”.
