MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 3 Series (SH08 RPH) between May 2011 and November 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 24 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 9 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 Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Nearside Inner Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”.
