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 2006 BMW 3 Series (BD56 VBC) between July 2024 and July 2025.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 29 July 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 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 Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
