MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 545 (M70 EDD) between September 2007 and January 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 56 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: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Fluid leak harmful to the environment or a risk to other road users coolant (8.4.1 (a) (i))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
