MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1992 BMW 3 Series (1 FBF) between April 2006 and April 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 24 April 2024 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 66 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 Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Inner door shut (7.1.1 (a”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
