This 2011 Bmw has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 40,787 miles. The recurring brake advisories and a dangerous tyre defect also point to significant underlying issues.

The MOT history shows a critical 49,335-mile decrease between Dec 2019 (147,200 mi) and Mar 2021 (97,865 mi), and a 62,181-mile decrease between Dec 2019 (147,200 mi) and Mar 2021 (97,865 mi), which is a strong indicator of odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2017 (124,159 mi) and Dec 2018 (85,019 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased by 49,335 miles between Dec 2019 (147,200 mi) and Mar 2021 (97,865 mi).
  • Mileage decreased by 62,181 miles between Dec 2019 (147,200 mi) and Mar 2021 (97,865 mi).
  • Dangerous Nearside Rear Tyre defect recorded on 2015-10-02 at 55,965 miles.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2015 tyre failure.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,000 miles/year after initial issues.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
