Y144 CFR MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW 728 (Y144 CFR) between October 2006 and February 2023.
The record contains 12 passes and 3 failures.
The most recent test on 13 February 2023 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: Suspension (12 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 16 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 Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”.
