MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 3 Series (WV56 PVE) between September 2009 and April 2020.

The record contains 11 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 08 April 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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: “Front Brakes imbalanced across an axle nearside front poor on balance test 41% variance (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Offside Rear Inner Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm void of tread almost to cords (5.2.3 (e))”.
