MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 BMW 3 Series (X289 UYX) between December 2005 and May 2016.

The record contains 11 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 23 May 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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: “Offside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”.
