AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2010 Bmw has 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 39,518 miles. The most recent MOT expired in April 2025, and the vehicle has been off-road for over a year, raising serious concerns about its roadworthiness and maintenance.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 533 miles in the 14 months before April 2024, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, indicating potential issues with the odometer or a prolonged period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre failures on 2019-05-30 and 2021-11-24 indicate severe neglect of critical safety components.
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2020-08-11, escalating from advisory on 2019-05-30, shows a clear pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • The vehicle has been off-road since April 2024, with no valid MOT and an untaxed status, making it unroadworthy.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres, brakes, and suspension across multiple tests point to systemic neglect of maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a strong safety foundation for its age.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The BMW 120 Sport model is generally known for its strong diesel engine and good fuel economy.
