MOT Analysis

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

7 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 BMW 3 Series (P622 HRM) between December 2005 and December 2008.

The record contains 4 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 23 December 2008 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: Suspension (2 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Steering (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 5 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 Sub-frame attachment bracket/mounting bolt missing (2.4.G.1)”; “Offside Rear coil spring incomplete (2.4.C.1a)”; “Offside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
