This 2012 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 78,566 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, with a significant drop in annual usage in recent years.
The mileage trajectory shows a consistent high usage of 15,325 miles/year until 2022, but then a significant drop to 5,709 miles/year between 2023 and 2026, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2026): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2017-04-22 and 2021-10-30 indicate severe neglect.
- DANGEROUS brake failures on 2021-10-30 and 2023-12-20 point to systemic safety issues.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Apr 2019) escalated to dangerous failures (Oct 2021).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
- Consistent high mileage in early years suggests regular use and maintenance.
