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 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 42,208 miles. The recent MOT failure for a serious shock absorber leak, though rectified, indicates past neglect.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,344 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 7,126 miles from 2024 to 2025), suggesting a change in driving habits or potential issues.

Things to check

  • 2020 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2020, indicating a period of unverified roadworthiness.
  • Recent MOT failure: The vehicle failed its MOT in Feb 2026 for a serious shock absorber leak, though it was immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until 2027:
