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

This 2007 Bmw has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 51,684 miles. The vehicle's age and diesel engine present known risks that require thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (7,570 mi/yr) until a significant drop to 2,520 miles in 2022, followed by a return to normal, indicating a period of low use or a potential issue.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jan 2022, May 2025, May 2026) suggest ongoing wear and maintenance needs.
  • Significant mileage drop from 20,298 miles (Jan 2021) to 2,520 miles (Dec 2022) is a red flag for potential odometer fraud or vehicle inactivity.
  • The 2007 BMW diesel engine has a history of DPF and timing chain issues, which are costly to repair.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,570 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
