MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (LR54 XGN) between October 2007 and April 2019.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 15 April 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Parking (secondary brake) on a single line braking system has inadequate effort at a wheel (1.3.1 (a) (i)”; “Exhaust emits excessive dense blue smoke during acceleration (8.2.1.2 (g))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
