MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 BMW 525 (NG03 FTD) between April 2006 and February 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 03 February 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Steering (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 Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”; “Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm BOTH (5.2.3 (e))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
