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 2013 BMW 1 Series (E26 FFS) between December 2023 and December 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 15 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

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

In total 10 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: “Nearside Rear Wheel bearing has excessive play (5.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”.
