AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Bmw has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 25,410 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories for suspension components and the low recent mileage warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 25,410 miles in 8 years, averaging 6,985 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- 2021-03-11: DANGEROUS tyre defect (exposed ply/cords) required immediate replacement.
- 2021-03-11: MAJOR emissions failure (catalytic converter) and exhaust defect.
- 2024-03-14: MAJOR suspension failure (ball joint) after repeated advisories.
- 2025-11-06: Very low recent annual mileage (1,010 miles in 10 months).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until November 2026, demonstrating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over its 8-year lifespan.
- No major structural corrosion or brake system failures recorded.
