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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 29,939 miles. The car's age and low annual mileage for its age are significant factors to consider.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 7,336 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual mileage has decreased significantly in recent years.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failure (bulge) on 2016-04-27 indicates a past safety-critical defect.
- Rear brake pads wearing thin advisory from 2019-03-25 is a recurring wear item.
- Shock absorber advisory noted in 2019-03-25 and 2025-06-28 suggests ongoing suspension wear.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,336 miles/year, well below UK average.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) since the 2016 tyre issue.
- Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retesting costs.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) for a 2011 model is excellent for its age.
