Our Verdict

This 2005 BMW 1 Series has a mixed MOT history with recurring mechanical issues, though the most recent test passed. Careful inspection is recommended before purchase.

Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on the ABS system (due to a 2025 failure) and brake components (noted in multiple MOTs). Check for consistent service records to verify maintenance history. Negotiate a lower price to account for recurring issues, and consider a pre-purchase survey to assess hidden damage. Be wary of potential corrosion issues highlighted in the 2024 MOT.
