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

This 2008 Bmw has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 61,347 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' and 'Untaxed', requiring immediate verification.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,618 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant initial 6,500-mile period in 2008 warrants clarification.

Things to check

  • MOT currently 'Not valid' and 'Untaxed' — immediate DVLA verification required.
  • Recurring major failures: Headlamps (Apr 2023), Tyres (Mar 2021), and Brake Discs (Feb 2019) indicate systemic neglect.
  • High advisory recurrence: 6 tests flagged for brakes, 4 for tyres, 4 for exhaust, and 4 for ball joint.
  • Dangerous defect: Tyres worn to legal limit (Mar 2021) escalated to dangerous (Apr 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage: 9,618 miles/year average, no fraud indicators.
  • High Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 BMW.
  • No major structural corrosion: No recurring dangerous defects on chassis.
