MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (RY54 ZHK) between December 2007 and February 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 11 February 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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 Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn D bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
