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 1999 BMW 3 Series (T205 BPS) between February 2023 and March 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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.
