MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 3 Series (LV52 DMX) between October 2006 and October 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 28 October 2017 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 32 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 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
