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 2012 BMW 3 Series (RF12 WAJ) between March 2015 and November 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 17 November 2025 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: Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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 Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Inner Road wheel fractured 2 cracks in wheel on previous repairs (5.2.2 (a))”.
