MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW Z3 (Y326 DRW) between June 2006 and October 2020.

The record contains 13 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 07 October 2020 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (17 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
