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 78% pass rate and 24,292 miles. While recent tests have passed, the recurring headlamp advisories and unexplained low early mileage warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 237 miles/year equivalent before Dec 2021, followed by normal usage, with a significant spike in May 2025 to 50,645 miles.

Things to check

  • 2021-12-07 FAILED for Offside Front Headlamp aim too low.
  • 2025-05-20 FAILED for Offside Front Headlamp aim too low.
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (237 mi/yr equivalent) before Dec 2021.
  • Recurring headlamp advisories (Dec 2021, May 2025) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2021, showing normal usage patterns.
  • Recent MOT passes (May 2025, May 2026) demonstrate current compliance.
