This 2008 Bmw has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 75,127 miles. The pattern of recurring failures and advisories on critical systems like brakes, engine oil, and exhaust points to systemic neglect.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: 127,434 miles in Oct 2014 decreased to 78,624 miles in Oct 2015, suggesting possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2014 (127,434 mi) and Oct 2015 (78,624 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 127,434 miles (Oct 2014) to 78,624 miles (Oct 2015) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Four DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded across multiple MOT tests (e.g., Nov 2021, Jan 2026).
  • One DANGEROUS brake failure recorded in Jan 2026, indicating severe safety concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,384 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
