AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 47,582 miles. The vehicle's age and specific advisories warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,987 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though recent annual usage has been lower.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (7 related) and failures (2 major) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
- Shock absorber fluid leak advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022) suggest a persistent suspension issue.
- Tyre wear advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022) and headlamp aim failures (Mar 2026) point to recurring maintenance needs.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed, which requires immediate verification of tax status with DVLA.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects on the latest MOT.
