This 2012 Bmw has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 30,079 miles. While there are some advisories, the car shows signs of responsible ownership and is a good prospect.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,687 miles/year, with a notable drop in usage between 2022 and 2024, but no suspicious anomalies.
Things to check
- 2020 SERVICE GAP: No MOT recorded between Dec 2019 and Jun 2021, indicating a period of off-road use or SORN.
- Suspension wear: Recurring advisories for suspension components (e.g., suspension arm, 2019, 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Clean recent MOT: Passed Nov 2025 with no failures, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent low mileage: Average 7,687 miles/year is well below UK average, suggesting light use and less wear.
- No recurring major failures: Despite some advisories, the car has not failed on the same system repeatedly.
