MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 3 Series (LL02 WDC) between August 2005 and August 2026.

The record contains 22 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 28 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Rear Brake pipe at imminent risk of failure or fracture (1.1.11 (a))”; “Emissions not tested (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Rear Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”.
