MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW 520 (Y591 CCL) between March 2006 and January 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 30 January 2026 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: Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Windscreen has a sticker or other obstruction encroaching into the swept area by more than 40mm outside zone 'A' (8.3.1e”.
