MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 BMW 3 Series (Y712 CDU) between September 2023 and September 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 15 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). 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: “Nearside Rear Outer Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Direction indicator adversely affected by the operation of another lamp (4.4.3 (b))”; “Headlamp aim too high both (4.1.2 (a))”.
