MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 3 Series (HX02 BHJ) between December 2005 and December 2021.

The record contains 18 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 04 December 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (15 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress ”.
