MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 BMW 3 Series (T117 DLR) between April 2006 and June 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 11 June 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: Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). 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 Side repeater missing (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear All direction indicators not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Side repeater missing (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
