Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: valid until 12 July 2027.

It failed its MOT on 9 July 2026 (offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn inner; nearside rear parking (secondary brake) on a single line braking system has inadequate effort at a wheel; parking brake efficiency below requirements) and passed 4 days later, on 13 July 2026.

There were no advisories at the latest test.

Mileage at that test: 156,739 miles. The advert says 156,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 23,000 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2008 BMW 5 Series on AskCar.
