AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Bmw has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 47,903 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories and failures point to a vehicle requiring significant ongoing maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,530 miles/year, with a notable drop from 12,640 miles/year (Mar 2020) to 2,184 miles/year (Mar 2021), but no fraud detected.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defect (ADVISORY) on 2026-03-21 — immediate replacement needed.
- Recurring brake disc corrosion (ADVISORY) on 2026-03-21 — indicates ongoing wear.
- Recurring steering rack advisories (ADVISORY) on 2026-03-21 — suggests persistent wear.
- Dangerous rear service brake binding (ADVISORY) on 2024-03-21 — indicates a safety-critical issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-21 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
