AI verdict BUY 77/100

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

This 2013 Bmw has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 34,669 miles. While there are recurring suspension advisories and a recent low-mileage period, these are manageable for a buyer.

The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage, averaging 7,717 miles/year, with a notable drop to 1,461 miles/year between Dec 2024 and Feb 2026.

Things to check

  • Low mileage (1,461 miles/year 2024-2026) may indicate extended periods of inactivity.
  • Engine oil advisory noted in 3 separate tests (e.g., Dec 2021, Dec 2022) indicates a persistent minor issue.

Working in its favour

  • Excellent MOT pass rate (8/9) with no dangerous defects recorded.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,717 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • Recent MOT pass (Feb 2026) provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) indicates high safety standards.
