MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW Z4 (LB05 FTE) between June 2008 and January 2019.

The record contains 11 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 09 January 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 (5.4.2)”; “Nearside Rear coil spring fractured (2.4.C.1a)”; “Offside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
