UK

The 1988 BMW 750 IL is not represented in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database, so there are no pass rates or defect statistics available for this cohort. This 750 IL — a flagship luxury saloon from the late 1980s — would now be approaching 37 years old and is likely to fall outside the routine MOT testing population as many examples have been retired, exported, or converted to historic vehicle status. If you're considering one, focus on its documented service history, the condition of its hydraulic systems and electrical components (notoriously complex for the era), and have a pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist rather than relying on MOT data. For a car of this age and specification, mechanical integrity and originality matter far more than aggregate failure statistics.

MOT statistics not available

We have 354 1988 BMW 750 Il Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
