MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 3 Series (MJ56 UXR) between August 2009 and March 2023.

The record contains 14 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 13 March 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (20 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Rear Brake hose damaged and likely to fail (1.1.12 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Brake hose damaged and likely to fail (1.1.12 (a))”; “Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
