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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 29,942 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear items and a recent low-mileage period suggest potential neglect.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,144 miles/year, with a recent period of very low annual usage (e.g., 304 miles between Oct 2024 and Nov 2024).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures across 8 tests (Oct 2018, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024) indicate chronic wear.
- Major brake failure in Oct 2020, with 6 related advisories (Oct 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022), points to significant maintenance needs.
- Offside Rear Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Oct 2021), a recurring issue that requires careful inspection.
- The vehicle has very low annual mileage for its age (e.g., 304 miles between Oct 2024 and Nov 2024), suggesting periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over 15 years, averaging 8,144 miles/year, aligns with typical UK usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies, which is a positive for this vehicle.
