MOT Analysis

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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW Z3 (KF51 YCU) between May 2022 and April 2024.

The record contains 3 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 27 April 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Steering (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Front Inner Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Front Inner Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
