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

This 2012 Bmw has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 20,501 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, with periods of very low annual usage followed by significant spikes, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with 2,659 miles added between Feb 2022 and Feb 2023, then 14,362 miles added between Feb 2023 and Feb 2024, and 18,745 miles added between Feb 2025 and Feb 2026, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 6 separate occasions (Jan 2020, Feb 2023, Feb 2025, Feb 2026).
  • Major failures for lights (6 times) and suspension (3 times) across multiple MOTs.
  • Mileage shows significant, unexplained fluctuations (e.g., 2,659 miles in 12 months, then 14,362 miles in 12 months).
  • Recurring advisories for steering rack and engine oil, indicating ongoing wear and tear.

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until 2027-02-11, indicating a recent pass despite the history.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,304 miles/yr, aligning with UK average.
