AI verdict CAUTION 58/100

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

This 2009 Bmw has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 21,677 miles. The vehicle's 17-year age and consistent low annual mileage also warrant careful inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,214 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has significantly decreased since 2022.

Things to check

  • Major emissions failure recorded on 2019-01-19, though retested and passed.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 separate MOT tests (2015, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, 2026) indicate chronic wear.
  • Brake system advisories and failures (2020, 2022) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Engine oil leak noted on 2015-03-07, though no recent advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-09, offering significant peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (8,214 mi/yr), no fraud indicators.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects on the latest MOT (Mar 2026).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates strong safety features.
