MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (7 GYR) between September 2022 and September 2025.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 16 September 2025 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: Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”.
