MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 BMW 3 Series (N205 AKP) between October 2024 and July 2026.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.
