MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 BMW 3 Series (LC03 AYD) between February 2006 and November 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 02 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (39 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 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: “Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Brake lever has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))”.
