Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle, a 1987 BMW 525 with 165,918 miles, passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-06-16 with no defects recorded. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend, with the vehicle consistently passing MOT tests over the past two years. The recent test suggests that the vehicle's mechanical condition has been well-maintained, with no significant issues detected. The mileage pattern for this vehicle is notable for being relatively low for its age. With approximately 4,254 miles per year, the vehicle has been used sparingly over the years. There are no significant gaps in the mileage record, suggesting consistent use and maintenance. However, it is worth noting that the vehicle has been stationary for periods of time, as evidenced by the low annual mileage. This is not uncommon for classic cars, but it may impact the condition of certain components, such as the battery and suspension. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brakes in person, as recurring faults have been flagged in the history. The 2013 MOT test noted an offside shock damper, and the 2013 and 2012 tests both mentioned poor handbrake release buttons. Additionally, the 2019 test failed due to a faulty windscreen wiper and obstructed view of an external mirror. The buyer should also inspect the vehicle's bodywork for signs of corrosion, as noted in the 2014 test. The offside front seatbelt anchorage and nearside front body were found to be corroded, although not considered excessive.
