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 (X196 DDN) between August 2005 and February 2019.

The record contains 14 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 13 February 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear (3.6.B.2c)”; “Offside Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear (3.6.B.2c)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively damaged so that it no longer prevents the ingress ”.
