MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 3 Series (JEL 1) between June 2011 and June 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 17 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords Outer sidewall (4.1.D.1”; “Rear Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”.
