MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 118 (SW58 CCF) between January 2012 and May 2025.

The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 09 May 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (32 issues), Suspension (18 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 70 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 Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
