This 2007 Bmw has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 26,526 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low annual usage after 2019.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (26,526 miles over 19 years) with a significant 4-year gap (2019-2021) where no MOT tests were recorded, raising serious odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Rear Brake pipe at imminent risk of failure or fracture (Mar 2022).
  • Recurring suspension advisories (6 items) across 2 separate tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Major emissions failures (2 tests) in 2019 and 2021 suggest underlying engine issues.
  • Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious: 26,526 miles over 19 years with a 4-year gap (2019-2021).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety focus.
  • No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests, suggesting isolated issues.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT pass history after initial failures, showing some maintenance.
