MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 116 (W17 APW) between March 2009 and March 2020.

The record contains 12 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 06 March 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (4.1.D.1b)”.
