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 2006 BMW 3 Series (Y16 TEE) between April 2009 and December 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 17 December 2025 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 (17 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Outer Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Inner Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure edge (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
