MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (YC04 SZR) between March 2007 and November 2023.

The record contains 18 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 49 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 Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced floor (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced floor (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”.
