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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 10,653 miles. The vehicle's mileage is also highly suspicious, averaging only 282 miles per year for its first 7 years, which is a major red flag for potential fraud.
The vehicle recorded only 282 miles/year from January 2008 to December 2017, which is a critical and highly suspicious anomaly for a 2008 vehicle.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Only 282 miles/year recorded from Jan 2008 to Dec 2017.
- Recurring failures: Brakes and tyres show repeated failures and advisories across multiple tests.
- Dangerous defect: 'Cracks visible in all tyres' advisory on 2012-01-11 is a serious safety concern.
- No valid MOT: The vehicle has no current MOT status, which is a major legal and safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high level of safety for its time.
- Consistent mileage: After the initial 7-year low usage, the car has maintained consistent annual mileage.
- No recent failures: The last MOT failure was in Nov 2023, and the car has been retested and passed since.
