2010 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Petrol · LB10 SCX

The most recent MOT on 2023-02-23 recorded a pass at 76,052 miles, with no defects noted. This suggests the vehicle met safety standards at that time. However, a failed MOT on 2022-02-16 at the same mileage (70,044 miles) raises questions. The failure occurred just five days before a subsequent pass on 2022-02-21, also at 70,044 miles. This narrow window of inconsistency—where a failure was followed by a pass without recorded defects—may indicate a minor issue resolved quickly, though the lack of defect details limits clarity. The MOT history shows no recurring defects across multiple tests. All passes (2023, 2021, 2020) and the single failure (2022) lack specific fault records, making it difficult to identify a clear mechanical pattern. The vehicle’s age (16 years) and low mileage (76,052 miles) suggest it has been driven infrequently, averaging 4,753 miles annually. This could imply periods of inactivity, which might affect components like the battery, fluids, or rubber seals. However, without evidence of wear or specific failures, the condition trend remains neutral.
