MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW X5 (VN55 UCC) between November 2008 and June 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 24 June 2025 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 (9 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Bodywork (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 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 Driver's door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle (6.2.B.1b)”; “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”; “Rear registration plate character(s) incorrectly spaced (6.3.4a)”.
