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 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 22,046 miles. While recent advisories are positive, the vehicle's history suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,622 miles per year, with a notable spike in 2024 (23,744 miles) and 2025 (23,600 miles), significantly exceeding the UK average of 8,000 miles.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre failures on 2022-06-28 and 2023-01-27 indicate a history of critical neglect.
- Dangerous brake failures on 2023-01-27 and 2022-06-28 point to a pattern of safety-critical component wear.
- High annual mileage (14,622 mi/yr) for an 8-year-old vehicle will accelerate wear on all components.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (2022-06-28, 2026-02-20) suggest a structural weakness or poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-20, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
- All dangerous and major defects were immediately rectified and passed subsequent retests, showing responsive ownership.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2018 BMW is a strong positive for overall safety features.
