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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 35,737 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage discrepancy: 138,481 miles in Nov 2018, then only 10,907 miles in the subsequent 12 months, followed by a return to normal usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-01-20 (test 1) after 7 years of advisories.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2026-01-20 (test 1) after 7 years of advisories.
  • Recurring suspension advisory on 2026-01-20 (test 1) after 7 years of advisories.
  • Mileage dropped from 138,481 in Nov 2018 to 149,388 in Dec 2019, then normal.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-20, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,697 miles/year since 2019.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
