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

This 2009 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 40,250 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage for its age is a significant concern.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2021 (561 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,850 miles per year since registration.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (Jul 2021, May 2024) and advisories (e.g., binding brake, May 2024) indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Suspension failures (Jul 2021, May 2024) and advisories (e.g., fractured coil spring, May 2024) suggest structural wear.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (5,850 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle is a major red flag for long-term neglect.
  • The 2015-08-18 advisory for a 'n/s/r shockabsorber wet around cylinder area' is a critical safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until May 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No DANGEROUS defects are currently outstanding from the most recent MOT tests.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite anomalies, suggests no odometer fraud.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and well-engineered vehicle.
