MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2017 BMW 218 (SW17 FUT) between May 2022 and June 2025.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 13 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

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

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage damaged and seriously weakened drop link broken (5.3.3 (b) (i))”.
