MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 BMW 730 (M545 VJL) between March 2006 and September 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 18 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 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: “Oil leaking excessively from engine (8.4.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a))”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp(s) remains on when the brakes are released (4.3.2 (a) (iii))”.
