This 2008 Bmw has 16 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 18,423 miles. The car's age and past high mileage demand thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant jump to 59,794 miles by April 2019, then a sharp drop to 1,652 miles/year from 2022 onwards, indicating a major change in usage patterns.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 59,794 miles by Apr 2019, then only 1,652 miles/year from 2022–2025.
- Unusually high initial mileage: 16,519 miles/year equivalent before Feb 2015, suggesting heavy early use.
- Very low recent annual usage: Only 3,236 miles added in the last 12 months (Jul 2024–Jul 2025).
- First MOT test on 2011-03-17 at 18,423 miles is unusually late for a 2008 vehicle.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, indicating a well-maintained vehicle.
- Recent MOT pass on 2025-07-30 with a valid MOT until 2026-07-30.
- Consistent mileage readings since 2019, showing no recent tampering.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for safety, a strong positive for this model.
