T4 LHC MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 BMW 3 Series (T4 LHC) between February 2006 and August 2026.
The record contains 22 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (29 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 72 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 Front Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt drop links bent slightly (5.3.4”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
