MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 BMW Z3 (R483 ECX) between March 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 14 passes and 11 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (23 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 51 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 Inner Drag link end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”.
