MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 116 (BD56 UTS) between December 2009 and December 2020.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 12 December 2020 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 (16 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn BOTHSIDES (1.1.14 (a) (i))”.
