MOT Analysis

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

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 BMW 3 Series (VE52 KLO) between January 2006 and November 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 26 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 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 Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”.
