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 2004 BMW 1 Series (PE54 YXM) between September 2007 and November 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 29 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 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 Lower Suspension arm pin or bush likely to become detached locking nut or bolt missing (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid both sides (3.5 (a))”.
