This 2006 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 35,948 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 35,948 miles over 20 years, averaging 10,943 miles/year, but recent years (2021-2022) saw significantly lower annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2019, Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022) indicate persistent wear.
  • Nearside Rear Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Feb 2019), a critical safety component.
  • Tyre advisories for wear and cuts are recurring, suggesting a history of poor maintenance.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not valid MOT status, requiring immediate action.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2023-02-28, confirming current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for this model provides strong safety credentials.
