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 2009 BMW 3 Series (YC59 OMY) between November 2012 and April 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 25 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (16 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect (5.3.2 (d))”; “Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”.
