Service History question in idrive

[chimp3]

Can any of you bright sparks shed any light on the reason for the amber exclamation mark in the service entry in this image. The dealer tells me the MOT is due in March 2022. Are future MOTs flagged in this way?

If I was to take an educated guess I would say that yes, it is an amber ! because your MOT was due in less than 6 months at the time of the service.

Note: I could be completely wrong as well!

[rassi]

Amber ! to me means MOT exceeded by 5 months, not in less than 5 months.

Not my car, but in dialogue with seller.
MOT was completed in March 2021 and next due March 2022. Service, with amber exclamation mark, done on 13.7.21 Not clear why amber though. Any thoughts?

Is it that it’s had the mot done but they’ve forgotten to reset the idrive?

[Olivergt]

Well the service was done before the MOT was due. So unless the MOT was done at a BMW garage the MOT garage would not have reset the iDrive.

Given that the MOT was done and there is proof online from an official government website that it was done, and the results, I would have thought that it doesn't really matter what the car thinks.

I’m probably wrong here, but I thought ‘Vehicle Inspection’ was that crappy walk round service they do ?

Yellow meaning it was carried out late.

My old E90 had an MOT reminder that you could adjust.

But my F30 with the display pictured above, has nothing in the idrive for MOT.
