MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 BMW Z3 (V826 FDV) between October 2006 and November 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 12 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (12 issues), Bodywork (10 issues), Tyres (8 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 Rear Outer Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”.
