MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 BMW 3 Series (ST56 ACZ) between September 2009 and July 2021.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 28 July 2021 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: Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 21 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: “Nearside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Rear Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened Body to Subframe Bracket (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement upper chalked (2.4.G.2)”.
