This 2012 Bmw has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 45,237 miles. The car's age and diesel engine present known model-specific risks.

Things to check
- Major failure for Offside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (Dec 2016) — critical safety system.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2019, Nov 2021, Oct 2024) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance costs.
- Engine/Oil advisories recurring across 3 separate tests (Nov 2019, Nov 2021, Oct 2024) — monitor for leaks.
- Low mileage for age (45,237 mi in 14 years) may indicate limited use, potentially affecting DPF system.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until December 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
