2026 BMW 1 Series MOT history

Type the registration of any UK BMW 1 Series hatchback and we'll display every annual MOT test the DVSA holds. That includes the pass/fail outcome, the recorded mileage at each test, every advisory note (so you can see what the tester flagged for the next visit) and the failure reasons in detail when an attempt didn't pass. The MOT history is the strongest mileage paper-trail in the UK and the cheapest piece of due diligence available before any used-car purchase.

A 2026 BMW 1 Series is around 0 years old. At this age UK MOT first-time fail rates sit in the 10% range. Most 1 Seriess of this age sail through, with advisories typically limited to tyre wear and small electrical glitches. Always read the advisory list — it's where future repair budget hides.

Diesel 1 Seriess are subject to the modern smoke-opacity test introduced in 2018, plus visual checks for missing or modified DPFs. If a diesel 1 Series's MOT history shows a sudden emissions failure followed by a quick pass, that's worth asking about — DPF removal is illegal but still happens.
