FE55 NXF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 3 Series (FE55 NXF) between September 2008 and December 2025.
The record contains 18 passes and 8 failures.
The most recent test on 18 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (23 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 57 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 Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Headlamp light intensity severely reduced both due to weathered lenses which are also distorting beam image (4.1.4 (a))”.
