MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 BMW 3 Series (W853 WGP) between November 2005 and December 2016.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 03 December 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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: “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”; “Offside front brake application uneven (3.7.B.2)”; “Nearside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)”.
