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

This 2011 Bmw has 21 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 41,130 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-08-29, which is a critical red flag for a 15-year-old vehicle.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal usage, averaging 10,332 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring failures and advisories on safety-critical components.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures recorded on 1 separate occasion (Aug 2023).
  • Recurring suspension arm failures and advisories across 8 separate tests (Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Aug 2024).
  • Recurring brake disc and pad failures and advisories across 5 separate tests (Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2023, Aug 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 10,332 miles per year, indicating normal usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates high safety standards for its age.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
