AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Bmw has 24 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 18,052 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the consistent need for tyre and brake work suggests potential underlying wear or neglect.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,278 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Mar 2015 – Mar 2016)
- Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2013-02-04 (Nearside Front Tyre worn close to limit).
- Recurring tyre advisories on 2013-02-04 and 2014-02-17, indicating chronic wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,278 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
