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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 BMW 3 Series (R8 SMX) between February 2023 and June 2026.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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 Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
