1999 BMW 7353.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1999 BMW 735 was conducted on 2015-07-10, over a decade ago. No subsequent MOT records exist, raising concerns about the vehicle’s ongoing compliance and maintenance. The last recorded mileage of 49,813 miles suggests an average annual usage of 1,845 miles, far below typical levels for a 27-year-old vehicle. This low mileage could indicate long periods of inactivity, increasing the risk of corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with the braking system. Corroded brake pipes were noted in multiple tests (2015-03-16, 2014-03-08, 2014-03-17), alongside worn or pitted brake discs and thin brake pads. These defects suggest prolonged exposure to moisture or inadequate maintenance, which may have accelerated wear. The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning light also appeared in 2015-03-16 and 2014-03-08, indicating potential electrical faults that could compromise airbag functionality. While the 2015-07-10 MOT resulted in a pass, it documented deteriorated front suspension bushes and slightly corroded brake pipes—issues that could worsen over time. The lack of recent MOT data means there is no evidence of improvements or new defects post-2015.
