MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 3 Series (LS52 WKA) between January 2006 and December 2016.

The record contains 12 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 17 December 2016 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 (32 issues), Suspension (20 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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: “Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)”; “Offside Front Steering arm has relative movement at its fixings (2.2.B.1h)”; “Nearside Front Macpherson strut damaged and seriously weakened (2.4.G.1)”.
