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 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 31,036 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recent advisories on critical systems warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,452 miles/year, with a notable spike of 24,124 miles in 2 years (Feb 2018) after a period of very low annual usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 5 tests (Nov 2010, Jun 2014, Feb 2018) indicate chronic neglect.
- Suspension arm play and exhaust rattle noted in 2011 and 2017 advisories, escalating to failures in 2018.
- Engine oil advisory in 2017 and 2018 suggests potential DPF or turbocharger issues common in older BMW diesels.
- Recent Feb 2018 MOT pass followed a failure, with advisories for engine oil and tyres still present.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
- No persistent major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects (e.g., brakes, steering) in the MOT record.
