MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 525 (SF02 PKS) between May 2025 and June 2026.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 24 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (18 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Steering (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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: “Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear, rear section (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear, rear section (1.1.11 (c))”.
