MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 BMW 3 Series (L366 NFC) between January 2007 and November 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 14 November 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”.
