MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 118 (NM08 LSV) between July 2011 and July 2020.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 13 July 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 18 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: “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases Flex (6.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”.
