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

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 January 2026 at 88,441 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows failures on 6 January 2026 and 7 April 2025, these were resolved immediately on the same or following day, suggesting the owner addressed issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,844 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 9 April 2024 at 73,794 miles and 7 April 2025 at 84,128 miles, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the mileage has continued to climb steadily to the current 88,441 miles. The MOT history is unusually clean for a ten year old BMW, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depth across the last three years. This lack of documented wear suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points that the MOT may have overlooked. Check the condition of the brake pads and discs for uneven wear and inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for oil changes and coolant flushes is essential to ensure the drivetrain has been maintained beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
