MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW 120 (YP55 NYU) between November 2008 and November 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 18 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (16 issues), Brakes (12 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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 hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”.
