MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 118 (FE55 NBD) between August 2008 and March 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 14 March 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 (23 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Windscreen (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 66 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: “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Offside Rear Wheel bearing has excessive play (5.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn top arm, inner rose joint (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
