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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 26,402 miles. The car's age and diesel engine also present known model-specific risks.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 6,568 miles/year with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has varied significantly since 2021.
Things to check
- May 2026 MOT failure for suspension arm, followed by a PASS on the same day, suggests a quick fix.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 tests (2015, 2016, 2017, 2026) indicate a persistent underlying issue.
- The 2011 diesel engine carries known high-risk DPF and N54 engine reliability issues.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until May 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, with no signs of odometer fraud.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
