MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 3 Series (MA08 MXR) between March 2011 and August 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 10 August 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 (19 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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 Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Marked) (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
