Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2010 model has the highest pass rate at 91% from 105 tests. The 2011 model has the lowest at 79%. The 12 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.
Reliability Trend
Newer BMW 630s pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 4 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2005) averages 117,637 miles, while the newest (2018) averages 52,719 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
