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 2000 BMW Z3 (W857 AOS) between July 2006 and June 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 22 June 2022 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (36 issues), Brakes (31 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Bodywork (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 91 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 Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Power steering component leaking (2.1.5 (a))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
