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 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 40,961 miles. The car's low mileage for its age and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating are positive factors.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 11,281 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2021 service gap is concerning.
Things to check
- 2021 MOT gap: No MOT recorded between Dec 2020 and Jan 2022, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Strong MOT pass record: 6 of 7
