MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 520 (KY54 VUB) between September 2007 and October 2023.

The record contains 13 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Front Headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced both water inside (4.1.4 (b))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
