How BMW compares

BMW has an MOT pass rate of 80.0% on MOTindex, against 82.8% across every make checked here. With 2 BMW vehicles on record, this is a small sample rather than a national survey, so read it as a starting point rather than a verdict on the make.

Fuel types checked

Diesel 2 (100%)

Common BMW defects

From 20 BMW tests on MOTindex with a DVSA defect code to categorise.

Axles, wheels, tyres and suspension 8 (40.0%)

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment 1 (5.0%)

Body, structure and attachments 1 (5.0%)

Nuisance (emissions and noise) 1 (5.0%)

A test can find problems in more than one category, so these figures do not sum to 100%. See the site-wide common failures breakdown for how this is worked out and how it compares across all makes.
