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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 BMW 525 (S13 MAU) between January 2006 and May 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 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 Rear Brake hose excessively deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)”; “Nearside Rear Brake hose excessively deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
