MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 3 Series (10 MOB) between April 2009 and June 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 17 June 2026 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: Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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 Rear Lower Suspension arm damaged and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear wishbone bushes / both sides. (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
