MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW X5 (GR53 ABV) between February 2007 and July 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 30 July 2026 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: Brakes (17 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 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: “Offside Front Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system (1.1.11 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Outer Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Headlamp levelling device obviously defective (1.7.2)”.
