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 2004 BMW 3 Series (AF04 FWR) between March 2007 and May 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 14 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (17 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Brake hose excessively damaged (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt NS/OS (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)”.
