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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 48,999 miles. The single recorded MOT in 2019 failed due to severe brake issues and recurring advisories, making it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows 48,999 miles at its first MOT in April 2019, which is unusually low for a 19-year-old diesel BMW, suggesting potential odometer fraud or a long period of inactivity.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Apr 2015 – Mar 2016)
- No valid MOT since 2019-10-09, indicating it has not been roadworthy for over 5 years.
- First MOT on 2019-04-03 recorded 48,999 miles, which is implausibly low for a 19-year-old diesel.
- Major failure on 2019-04-03 for brakes, with 3 related advisories, indicating severe neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
- No recorded failures for the timing chain or associated components, which are common BMW issues.
