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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 47,185 miles. A significant 3-year MOT gap from Oct 2022 to Dec 2025 also raises serious questions about its maintenance and usage.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal usage until Oct 2022, but a 3-year gap (Oct 2022–Dec 2025) means the vehicle's actual mileage during this period is unverified, raising concerns about its condition.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on tyres (8 items) and brakes (9 items) across multiple tests indicate chronic wear.
- Major failure for 'Offside Front All position lamps not working' in Apr 2019, though fixed.
- Significant 3-year MOT gap (Oct 2022–Dec 2025) with unverified mileage is a major red flag.
- Brake disc and pad advisories in Dec 2025 are very close to failure threshold.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-07, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent mileage trajectory before the 2022 gap, suggesting normal use.
