AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Bmw has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 19,630 miles. The car's age and known diesel engine weaknesses also warrant significant consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 6,524 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 4,735 miles in 2025.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm advisories from Mar 2022 to Mar 2026 indicate ongoing wear.
- Multiple tyre advisories in Mar 2021 and Mar 2024 suggest a history of wear.
- A major failure for suspension in Mar 2023, followed by a retest pass, is a significant concern.
- The 2019-03-04 MOT advisory for a central front oil leak is a minor but unaddressed issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-28 provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage of 6,524 miles/year for its age is a positive sign.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
