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 2002 BMW 3 Series (GP51 FWK) between May 2006 and June 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 24 June 2015 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 (24 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (2 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: “Offside Front Upper Tie bar/rod ball joint dust cover insecure so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.4.G.”; “Nearside Front Upper Tie bar/rod ball joint dust cover insecure so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.4.G”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”.
