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 X3 (RE05 AFX) between February 2022 and April 2024.

The record contains 3 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 02 April 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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: “Exhaust emits excessive smoke or vapour likely to obscure the vision of other road users (8.2.2.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
