MOT Analysis

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

9 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 BMW X3 (AR05 FWS) between November 2013 and June 2019.

The record contains 6 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
