This 2008 Bmw has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 49,125 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and high mileage for its age makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,498 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike of 25,950 miles between Nov 2011 and Nov 2012.
