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

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 BMW 3 Series (T835 JBH) between November 2005 and December 2011.

The record contains 7 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
