This 2012 Bmw has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 28,920 miles. The car's age and recurring wear items suggest potential upcoming maintenance costs.

Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2022) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2021).
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jul 2025) suggest ongoing wear and potential future replacement.
- Recent MOT failure (Jul 2025) for a wiper indicates a borderline pass and immediate retest.
- Consistent low annual mileage (5,913 mi/yr) may indicate infrequent use, potentially affecting component longevity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,913 mi/yr) suggests light, gentle use.
