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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 23,300 miles. The low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2023 service gap, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,716 miles/year, with a notable 2023 service gap and a recent 2-year period of very low usage (Apr 2024).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (2013, 2022, 2024) indicate a persistent and costly issue.
- Major brake failure (Sep 2020) and recurring advisories (Sep 2018, 2019) suggest ongoing brake system wear.
- A 2023 service gap is a red flag for potential neglect or unrecorded maintenance.
- The 2018 advisory for 'Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin' was never addressed, escalating to a failure in 2020.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass in April 2024, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,716 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
