MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 BMW 3 Series (M966 APX) between December 2005 and February 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 17 February 2026 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: Brakes (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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: “Emissions unable to be completed (8.2.1.2 (d))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”.
