MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW X5 (YM55 TFX) between June 2008 and June 2023.

The record contains 12 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 15 June 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Parking brake inoperative on one side very low effort (1.4.1 (a))”; “Offside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.
