MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 520 (PF06 SPV) between March 2009 and July 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 18 July 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Steering (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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: “Emissions unable to be completed exhaust leak (8.2.2.2 (e))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced (4.1.4 (b))”; “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases flaxy (6.1.2 (a))”.
