AI verdict AVOID 33/100

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

This 2008 Bmw has 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 4,104 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the underlying safety and maintenance concerns make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2012 (117 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,351 miles per year since registration.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 2019-03-19 and 2024-02-29, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Recurring Brake System: 27 advisories across 6 tests (2021, 2023, 2026) point to systemic wear.
  • Emissions and Steering: 2 major failures on 2019-03-19 and 2023-04-01, respectively, show critical system neglect.
  • Mileage Anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2012 (117 mi/yr equivalent) is a major red flag.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the last test in Feb 2026.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2012, despite initial low usage.
