What BMW Ix3 Premier Edition failures look like

5,045 BMW Ix3 Premier Edition tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 1,494 tests (29.6%), with visibility on 390 tests (7.7%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 96 tests (1.9%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
