MOT Analysis

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 2005 BMW 118 (MF55 RUU) between May 2023 and June 2024.

The record contains 2 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (4 issues), Steering (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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: “Nearside Front Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt insecu”; “Offside Front Windscreen wiper blade missing (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”.
