MOT inspection is one part, or area of BMW's Conditioned Based Servicing or CBS.
BMW/Mini currently use this system to determine whether your vehicle is due for a service. CBS is a service schedule first introduced with the BMW 7 series (E65).
CBS is divided up into specific areas:
- Oil service
- Microfilter
- Spark Plugs
- Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
- MOT Inspection
- Vehicle check
- Break fluid change
- Front brakes
- Rear brakes
An indicator/light will come on your dashboard when any of the above need a service...
