SAP 24X MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1982 BMW 3 Series (SAP 24X) between July 2005 and January 2020.
The record contains 14 passes and 14 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Windscreen (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 43 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 Outer Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”.
