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 Z4 (LF53 VGK) between December 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 28 April 2026 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 (23 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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 (7.1.6 (a))”; “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Shock absorbers likely to become detached corroded (5.3.2 (a) (ii))”.
