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

This 2008 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 14,394 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests potential underlying neglect or structural wear.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (5,306 miles/yr) for its 18-year age, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 to 2023.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures (2012, 2019) and advisories (2023) indicate chronic wear.
  • Suspension arm advisories (2019, 2023) are recurring, suggesting ongoing issues.
  • Brake hose and disc advisories (2019, 2023) are recurring, pointing to neglected maintenance.
  • Engine oil advisory (Feb 2023) is a recent unresolved maintenance item.

Working in its favour

  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for safety features.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT data.
