MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 BMW Z3 (V311 ELD) between December 2006 and May 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 10 May 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (21 issues), Suspension (15 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 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 Outer Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
