MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 730 (R3 DXC) between August 2007 and June 2018.

The record contains 11 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 06 June 2018 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: Brakes (17 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
