MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW X5 (Y5 SFX) between September 2007 and March 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 18 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 36 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 Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn rearmost arm / outer ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords x 2 (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
