MOT Analysis

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

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 BMW 3 Series (L19 MBM) between August 2006 and September 2009.

The record contains 4 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 23 September 2009 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Steering (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 8 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 Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Rear wheel bearing has excessive play (2.6.2)”; “Offside Front Steering rack gaiter split (2.2.D.2d)”.
