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

This 2013 Bmw has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 57,068 miles. While it has a long MOT, the high mileage and repeated issues suggest significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle exhibits high annual mileage averaging 20,732 miles/year, with a notable 601-mile discrepancy on 23 Mar 2019 retest, indicating potential odometer fraud or data entry errors.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 23 Mar 2019 and 29 Mar 2019, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (6 times) and brakes (2 times) across multiple MOTs.
  • Unusually high mileage of 20,732 miles/year, significantly above UK average, will accelerate wear.
  • Mileage anomaly on 23 Mar 2019 retest shows only 601 miles, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-20, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No persistent DANGEROUS defects remaining in the most recent MOT history.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
