AI verdict CAUTION 58/100

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

This 2013 Bmw has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 19,697 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues and a significant mileage drop in recent years warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows normal usage until 2023, averaging 9,731 miles/year, but a significant drop to 3,907 miles/year occurred between the March 2022 and June 2023 MOT tests.

Things to check

  • 2017-08-07: Nearside Front Wheel bolt(s) missing and offside rear x3 — serious safety failure.
  • 2017-08-07: Nearside Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin and disc worn — recurring brake wear.
  • 2016-07-02: Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault — safety system concern.
  • Jun 2023: Significant drop in annual mileage from 20,068 to 3,907 miles/year — potential long-term storage or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • No DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved after immediate retest passes.
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage until 2023, no fraud detected.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong inherent safety features.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., chassis, subframe) are evident in the MOT record.
