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

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT test on 12 February 2026 at 93,646 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failed test at identical mileage, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for either outcome, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical failure rather than a fault with the car itself. Prior tests in February of 2023, 2024, and 2025 all passed with no advisories, showing a clean and consistent record over the last three years. Annual mileage has stayed close to typical expectations for a 2013 BMW 1 Series. The car covered 62,296 miles by 9 February 2023, rose to 66,012 by 16 February 2024, then 76,949 by 14 February 2025, and reached 93,646 by 12 February 2026. That final jump of roughly 16,700 miles in one year sits above the earlier ~4,000 to 11,000 mile pattern, but remains moderate for a thirteen-year-old vehicle averaging 7,204 miles annually. The record shows no long standing gaps and no sudden clusters of high use beyond the last period. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry, so the history gives no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and suspension components, as MOT pass with no advisories does not rule out early wear invisible at test. The same-day fail and pass at 93,646 miles warrants confirmation that the failure was paperwork or equipment related and not a suppressed defect. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current without deferred consumable replacement showing in advisories. Verify service history against the mileage steps above, and check tyres, wiper blades, and brake condition in person before purchase.
