MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 3 Series (HV56 PVL) between February 2009 and December 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 06 December 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (26 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 62 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 Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Offside Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”.
