MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 BMW 3 Series (S603 DDV) between August 2006 and August 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 19 August 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 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 efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Parking (secondary brake) on a single line braking system has no recorded effort at a wheel (1.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”.
