MOT Analysis

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

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 3 Series (YC08 ACO) between October 2021 and April 2022.

The record contains 1 pass and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 09 April 2022 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 (8 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Front Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”.
