BMW 7301995 · 3.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1995 BMW 730 is from 2012-07-25, over a decade ago. This suggests the vehicle has not been tested for roadworthiness in over 14 years, raising significant concerns about its current condition. The 2012 failure report highlights multiple safety-critical issues, including a non-functional offside headlamp, stop lamp, and rear brake pad wear, alongside scored front brake discs and a tyre on the legal limit. A subsequent "passed" MOT on the same date lists the same brake and tyre defects, implying these were not resolved. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake system deficiencies and electrical failures. Brake pad wear (3.5.1g) and disc damage (scored and lipped) appear in both 2012 entries, suggesting ongoing neglect. Electrical issues, such as a failed registration plate lamp in 2011, also recur, pointing to potential wiring or component degradation. While earlier MOTs in 2010 and 2011 show no defects, the 2012 failures indicate a clear escalation in severity. The trend of defects appears to be worsening, as the 2012 failures involve multiple safety-critical systems compared to the 2011 single electrical fault. However, without MOT data post-2012, it is impossible to confirm whether these issues were addressed or if new problems emerged.
