MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (FM04 PSX) between June 2007 and December 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 07 December 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (21 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 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: “Brake performance not tested rear brake pipe excessively corroded / pipes likely to fail during test (1.2.1 (g))”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe at imminent risk of failure or fracture pipe corroded (1.1.11 (a))”.
