What's wrong?
Well, it seems like raw footage that requires some editing.
For example, you have several shots in it where you come to a car, then zoom to it, then zoom out, while the camera is shaking. You could cut out the zooms, just show the car for one or two seconds, then show something else for another 1-2 sec, and so on. It sort of reminds me of a statement I read years ago that the difference between a professional photographer and an amater is that the amater shows you all of his pictures.
As it is right now, the viewer is confused. You are just walking through a room slowly and we do not really know what it is you want to tell/show us.
So, my advice would be to cut from one view to another instead of just walking around. Make it into a series of brief shots that pace through, each shot showing something new and interesting, for no longer than 2 seconds. Otherwise the viewer stops paying attention after just several seconds and most likely does not even finish watching your movie (which is why you have no votes or comments).
Secondly, the music should be working with the story you are telling, not just be some random accompaniment to fill the void. For example, when you show the car damaged in an accident, the music should be saying,
"Oh my god, look at this!" So, compose your music for every single shot specifically, not just as some elevator background.
