AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Bmw has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 22,128 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recent failures warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,191 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2018 onwards, but no anomalies detected.
Things to check
- Engine oil leak (Aug 2024 FAIL) — major defect on a 2008 diesel.
- Brake disc wear (Aug 2024 ADVISORY) — recurring issue since 2020.
- Suspension arm wear (Aug 2024 ADVISORY) — recurring issue since 2020.
- Registration plate lamp (Aug 2024 ADVISORY) — minor but recurring.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage trajectory — no fraud indicators.
- Recent MOT pass (Aug 2024) — immediate retest after failure.
- No major structural corrosion or chassis failures recorded.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating — excellent safety credentials.
