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 1997 BMW Z3 (P894 KKP) between May 2006 and December 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 17 December 2024 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 (29 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 43 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: “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Offside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure both 205/60/15 (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
