AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Bmw has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 31,066 miles. The car's history of high mileage and potential engine issues warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,991 miles/year, with a notable spike in 2022 (77,459 mi to 77,901 mi) and a significant drop in recent years (121,477 mi in May 2026).
Things to check
- Two unexplained MOT failures on 2022-03-25 and 2023-03-25 with no defect details.
- High annual mileage (12,991 mi/yr) significantly exceeds UK average (8,000 mi/yr).
- BMW N54 engine known for N54 HPFP, water pump, and turbo failures, a major reliability concern.
- BMW N20/N54 timing chain and guides are prone to failure, a significant upcoming cost.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-06, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite high annual usage, shows no signs of tampering.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for 2017 model provides excellent safety assurance.
- No recurring major failures or advisories on the same system across multiple tests.
