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 currently maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 20 September 2025 at 85,903 miles resulting in a clear pass. This record indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared four consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory or failure recorded since September 2022. Such a consistent history suggests the previous owner adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, effectively addressing mechanical requirements before they escalated into test failures. The recorded mileage of 85,903 miles over a nine-year period aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle, averaging approximately 9,545 miles annually. The data shows a steady, predictable accumulation of miles between 2022 and 2025, confirming the car has seen regular, consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The brief failure on 2 September 2022 at 51,878 miles, which was immediately rectified four days later, appears to be an administrative or minor oversight rather than evidence of systemic neglect. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the underbody, as these components often begin to show signs of wear at this mileage threshold despite clean MOT records. While the testing history is exemplary, you should verify the service book for evidence of oil changes and drivetrain maintenance, as MOT tests do not assess internal engine health or transmission longevity. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as these consumables are frequently replaced between inspections and may require attention soon depending on your own driving habits.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2017 BMW 1 Series (RK14 AAA) between September 2022 and September 2025.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 20 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords in tread (5.2.3 (d) (i)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
