AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 51,038 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated failures and advisories for critical safety systems warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,303 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but recent annual usage has been lower.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2020, 2022) escalated to dangerous defects, indicating chronic wear.
- Persistent headlamp failures (2018, 2021, 2025) and position lamp issues (2021, 2025) suggest electrical neglect.
- Brake hose advisory (Oct 2025) is a critical safety component that needs immediate attention.
- Four test failures across 12 MOTs, with 15 prior advisories, points to a pattern of reactive maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,303 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
