MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 3 Series (LM08 NTL) between June 2011 and June 2023.

The record contains 13 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 26 June 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Headlamp aim unable to be tested (4.1.2 (b))”; “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”.
