MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 BMW 3 Series (SA59 BZB) between September 2012 and September 2024.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 17 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 Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn front arm bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
