Things to check
- 2025 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2025, indicating a possible SORN or off-road period.
- 2023-12-11 MOT failure: Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a)) — a minor but unexplained failure.
- Below-average usage: 5,520 miles/year is significantly lower than the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
- BMW N54 engine reliability: Community reports highlight N54 engine issues, including HPFP, water pump, and turbo failures.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-11: Offers peace of mind for over three years of roadworthiness.
- Low mileage for age: 26,121 miles over 8 years indicates light use and potential longevity.
