MOT Analysis

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

11 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 BMW 3 Series (YH57 LAO) between September 2010 and April 2019.

The record contains 10 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 26 April 2019 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: Tyres (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 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: “Windscreen damaged and affecting the driver's view of the road (3.2 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Headlamp light source and lamp not compatible both (4.1.4 (c))”.
