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

This 2012 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 25,590 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of dangerous defects and recurring issues makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage (345 mi/yr equivalent) before Sep 2020 and again before Jan 2026, followed by normal annual usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Nov 2016) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Nov 2017) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring Brake System failures: Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (May 2025) — consistent neglect.
  • Recurring Steering System advisories: Steering rack (flagged in 3 tests) — persistent wear pattern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No outstanding MOT failures or advisories since the last test in Jan 2026.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2023, averaging 6,806 miles/year.
