AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Bmw has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 30,477 miles. The recurring suspension and lighting advisories, while fixed, indicate ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,772 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 3,754 miles in the last year.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (2012, 2026) suggest ongoing wear on a 19-year-old diesel.
  • Headlamp advisories (2012, 2026) indicate a recurring electrical issue that may need attention.
  • The 2.5L diesel engine is prone to timing chain and DPF system failures, a known weakness for this model.
  • The 2012-04-27 MOT advisory for worn tyres and the 2022-02-22 advisory for a non-illuminating side lamp suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-10 provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,772 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, not suspicious.
