AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Bmw has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 98,418 miles. While the single failure was promptly rectified, the high mileage and consistent advisories point to significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 13,482 miles/year, with a notable spike in 2021 (16,237 miles) and 2022 (13,938 miles) after a period of lower usage, indicating a change in driving habits or route.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Oct 2019, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 4 tests (Oct 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance.
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 3 tests (Oct 2019, 2020, 2021) point to consistent wear.
  • High annual mileage (13,482 miles/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 miles/yr) means more wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
