This 2008 Bmw has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 105,660 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2023-06-14, which is a critical red flag.

A critical mileage anomaly is present: 146,723 miles recorded on 2012-09-13, but only 46,271 miles on 2013-11-14, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2012 (146,723 mi) and Nov 2013 (46,271 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 146,723 miles (2012-09-13) to 46,271 miles (2013-11-14) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Major failure for 'Exhaust catalytic converter missing where one was fitted as standard' (Jun 2022) — serious emissions system defect.
  • Major failure for 'Nearside Front Road wheel fixing missing' (Jun 2022) — safety-critical suspension/steering failure.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety features for its era.
  • No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests — each failure was isolated.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,280 miles/year (pre-2012) — no sudden usage spikes.
