MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 3 Series (LA02 EHV) between June 2006 and December 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.
