This 2016 Bmw has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 39,873 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 12,971 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, with a notable 2020 service gap.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2021) escalated to dangerous failures (May 2023, May 2026).
- Recurring suspension advisories (May 2022, May 2023) indicate ongoing wear and tear.
- High annual mileage (12,971 mi/yr) for a 2016 car suggests heavy use.
- 2020 service gap (no MOT recorded) suggests potential periods of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-31, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural corrosion or brake system failures recorded.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards.
