This 2012 Bmw has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 10,981 miles. While there are known model-specific timing chain and DPF system issues, the vehicle's recent clean passes and low annual usage make it a viable purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,215 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes in its MOT history.
Things to check
- One DANGEROUS tyre defect (bulge) on 2015-11-16, though immediately rectified.
- One DANGEROUS tyre defect (tread depth) on 2015-11-16, though immediately rectified.
- Low annual mileage (4,215 mi/yr) suggests limited use, which can impact component wear.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT record with only one minor failure in 2015 and no recurring issues.
- Consistent low mileage (10,981 mi over 14 years) indicates light use and less wear.
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2025-11-18 with no advisories, indicating good current condition.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
