MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 BMW 3 Series (RK52 YBO) between September 2006 and June 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 19 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (23 issues), Brakes (21 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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: “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Offside Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ing”.
