MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 3 Series (PE05 XTL) between May 2008 and July 2021.

The record contains 13 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 22 July 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement front (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”.
