MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (K15 FFY) between May 2008 and October 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 07 October 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (41 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 67 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: “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”; “Electronic stability control warning lamp indicates a fault (7.12 (e))”.
