How the BMW G Series compares

The BMW G Series has an MOT pass rate of 88.5%, against 76.7% across all BMW vehicles, and 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 9,790 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 G Series models fail on.

Figures cover every BMW G Series 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.
