MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 BMW 3 Series (S288 BKP) between January 2006 and April 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 23 April 2022 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: Tyres (15 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Steering (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 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: “Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)”; “Nearside Rear Inner Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm 215 45 17 (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Front Electrical wiring insecure electrical brake pad wiring (1.9.2a)”.
