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 2001 BMW 3 Series (N3 GRJ) between March 2006 and March 2020.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 19 March 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”; “Nearside Front Lower Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”.
