How the BMW 340i compares

The BMW 340i has an MOT pass rate of 91.7%, against 76.7% across all BMW vehicles, and 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 6,863 tests for this model and 37,982,799 for the make, so the comparison rests on the whole national record rather than a sample of it. See what BMW 340i models fail on.

Figures cover every BMW 340i in the national MOT record, which includes vehicles since scrapped or exported, so "on record" is not a count of cars on the road. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test, retests included. Some MOT records describe the same model with extra trim or engine detail attached; where that detail is a recognised trim or drivetrain code, the vehicle is counted under the base model shown here rather than treated as a separate one.
