MOT Analysis

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

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW Z3 (X142 GEP) between December 2005 and March 2015.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 25 March 2015 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 14 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 Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)”; “Offside Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (1.4.A.2f)”.
