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 2005 BMW 116 (HV05 PCU) between March 2008 and November 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 14 November 2024 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 (24 issues), Tyres (22 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 43 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 Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid Both sides. (3.5 (a))”.
