MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW X5 (RG04 ATU) between July 2006 and February 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 26 February 2021 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: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 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 Front Suspension component pin or bush likely to become detached (5.3.4 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Upper Suspension component pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
