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 (CK56 KCV) between March 2023 and April 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 Rear Outer Brake hose excessively deteriorated (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
