MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW X5 (SL54 AVD) between September 2007 and June 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 30 June 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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 Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Brake performance not tested (1.2.1 (g))”; “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
