This 2012 Bmw has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 6,912 miles. The extremely low mileage of 15,546 miles over 14 years, combined with a 2020 SORN, raises significant concerns about its true condition and usage.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 15,546 miles over 14 years, averaging only 1,684 miles per year, which is a significant anomaly and raises odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- MOT FAILED on 2016-07-05 with dangerous steering and brake defects, though retested same day.
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: Vehicle was on SORN from 2020 onwards, indicating no road use or unknown status.
- CRITICAL MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 15,546 miles recorded over 14 years, a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- EXHAUST ADVISORY (Mar 2021): Indicates a current, unresolved issue with the exhaust system.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded since the 2016-07-06 retest, showing immediate rectification of initial defects.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high level of safety for its time.
- Consistent annual mileage trajectory (if genuine) suggests a single-owner or very predictable usage history.
- No recurring major failures in the last 3 years, indicating recent stability.
