MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 BMW 3 Series (VA12 FKB) between July 2015 and July 2026.

The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Inner Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
