What most often fails on a BMW 3 Series at its MOT
Across 471,320 BMW 3 Series MOT tests in 2025 (all versions together), these defects turned up most often.
- Shock absorber with a serious fluid leak. On 2.5% of BMW 3 Series tests, 2.5 times the rate for cars of the same age.
- Tyre tread below the 1.6mm legal minimum. On 2.4% of BMW 3 Series tests.
- Position lamp: not working. On 2.2% of BMW 3 Series tests.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items, not the engine, clutch or gearbox, so this is one measure of how each car holds up rather than a full reliability verdict. These figures describe the model, all its versions together, not this particular car.
