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 2006 BMW 3 Series (YY56 AEV) between September 2021 and January 2025.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Shock absorbers insecurely attached (5.3.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage damaged and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.1.3 (b) (i))”.
