AI verdict AVOID 37/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Bmw has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 32,049 miles. The vehicle's age and pattern of neglect outweigh any potential positives.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,639 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a significant 13,529-mile increase in Jan 2020 is unusual.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2026): Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects on 2013-03-07 and 2014-03-03 indicate severe neglect.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2014-03-03 and 2015-03-05 points to critical safety issues.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (13 items) across 2013-2026 suggest chronic wear.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistent with UK average, showing no signs of tampering.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects were recorded in the last 12 months.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
