MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW 3 Series (V6 ESY) between June 2006 and January 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 04 January 2021 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 (34 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Windscreen (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 74 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 Rear coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a)”; “Offside Front Front position lamp(s) has less than 50% of the light sources illuminating (1.1.A.3b)”; “Nearside Front Front position lamp(s) has less than 50% of the light sources illuminating (1.1.A.3b)”.
