MOT Analysis

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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 BMW 118 (YY08 ACU) between January 2011 and October 2024.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 02 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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 Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
