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

This 2011 Bmw has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 47,476 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,339 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has decreased in recent years.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023).
  • Persistent shock absorber leaks (Oct 2021, Oct 2023, Dec 2025) and windscreen issues (4 minor defects).
  • Multiple tyre failures and advisories (Sep 2018, Sep 2019, Oct 2022, Dec 2025).
  • Recent MOT pass (Dec 2025) still carries advisories for brake hose, shock absorber, and tyre wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until December 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 15 years, no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects flagged in recent tests.
  • Immediate retest passes after failures demonstrate owner's responsiveness to issues.
