AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Bmw has 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 31,474 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of past issues suggests significant ongoing maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,047 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage between 2019 and 2022, but no anomalies or decreases detected.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in brakes (Jul 2019, Jul 2020) and lights (Jul 2019, Aug 2022) indicate systemic neglect.
- Tyre advisories (10 flags) and suspension advisories (9 flags) are recurring, suggesting chronic wear.
- Five test failures across 13 MOTs, with 19 prior advisories, points to a high-maintenance vehicle.
- Consistent low annual mileage (7,047 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old car implies limited use but significant wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine odometer readings.
- No recent major failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been proactive in addressing issues.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
