MOT Analysis

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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 530 (YB05 UOU) between June 2008 and November 2017.

The record contains 11 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 27 November 2017 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 (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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 Tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions (4.1.D.1f)”; “Brake fluid warning lamp illuminated (3.6.G.2)”; “Nearside Outer Rear Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
