discussion What is a "mot BMW" on the iDrive Service History

[HellfireZA]

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering what "mot BMW" means on the iDrive service history in vehicle status. It looks like all the other service history entries, has the date, km of the vehicle and when you select it says what was done. Just all the other service entries have "31954" or some such 5 numbers prior to the word BMW, instead of "mot".

Check the MOT status of a vehicle

Find out the MOT test status of a vehicle - check the date of the MOT test and the expiry date of an MOT test pass.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the yearly RWC requirements like in the UK

I think you are correct.

A bit more info

I think the 5 digits before BMW is the dealer code.
