AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Bmw has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 39,973 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the pattern of recurring tyre issues and a 2023 service gap make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2021 (543 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, but this anomaly is a significant red flag.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2021-08-25 (39,973 mi) and recurring advisories.
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2021 (543 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recurring windscreen damage (minor) noted in 2022-10-19 and 2024-03-28 advisories.
- 2023 service gap: No MOT recorded for that year, indicating potential off-road use or neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2021, suggesting regular use after initial low period.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for safety, a strong point for this model.
