This 2008 Bmw has 13 MOT tests on record with a 54% pass rate and 44,181 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated tyre issues and a recent advisory suggest significant upcoming costs.

Things to check
- Six major tyre failures across 13 MOT tests (e.g., Jul 2011, Aug 2013, Aug 2015) indicate chronic neglect.
- Two major light failures (e.g., Jul 2011, Aug 2012) and persistent advisories show a reactive maintenance pattern.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention.
- The 2008 BMW is a 19–34 insurance group, making it expensive to insure.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,825 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good overall safety features.
- No persistent major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects.
