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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2010 BMW 520 (LC10 GAA) between August 2022 and November 2023.

The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Steering (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 2 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 emissions exceed default limit of 1.5m-1 (8.2.2.2 (b))”; “Offside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
