Safety recalls

Attention

Safety recalls may affect this vehicle.

  1. 1 Recall R/2026/054 Replace the Engine Starter Motor

    Defect: The Safety Recall relates to the engine starter motor. The fault relates to the RSW22 starter RWT (reinforced water tightness). It was found that with RWT starters an increased abrasion of the magnetic contact can cause the growth of deposits at the lowest point of the relay interior. This in turn may increase the relay contact resistance resulting in false starts or even causing short circuits and possibly a thermal reaction. In case of a short circuit the possibility of a thermal event cannot be excluded. This may happen while attempting to start the vehicle or while driving due to vibrations causing a short circuit due to moving deposits.

    Remedy: On the affected vehicles the starter motor will be replaced with a variant by another supplier with a different design. Until the repair has been completed it is recommended to not leave the vehicle running unattended after starting the engine.

  2. 2 Recall R/2024/461 Luggage Compartment Lashing Rail G01 F97

    Defect: On affected vehicles the screw connection for the luggage lashing rails may not withstand the forces in situations of a rear end impact. This may result in the lashing rail to not crumple as expected in these situations.

    Remedy: On affected vehicles the luggage lashing rail screws will be replaced with revised screws.

  3. 3 Recall R/2024/364 Luggage Compartment Lashing Rail G01 F97

    Defect: On affected vehicles the screw connection for the luggage lashing rails may not withstand the forces in situations of a rear end impact. This may result in the lashing rail to not crumple as expected in these situations.

    Remedy: On affected vehicles the luggage lashing rail screws will be replaced along with additional washers.

  4. 4 Recall R/2023/234 The bolted connection for the starter-generator may not have been tightened onto the body (ground) according to specifications

    Remedy: Check and rework the ground connection for the starter generator if required.

  1. 5 Recall R/2023/233 The bolted connection to the starter-generator may not have been tightened according to specifications

    Remedy: Check and rework the ground connection to the starter generator if required.

  2. 6 Recall R/2022/255 Undetected EGR System leaks may cause thermal activity in the intake manifold

    Remedy: The engine management control unit (DDE) will be programmed with improved software incorporating the latest OBD functionality.

What should I do?

Contact the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to confirm whether these recalls affect this car and whether any work is required.

Accident history

Full History Report

Insurers record a car as a write-off (Category A, B, S or N) when it’s too damaged or too costly to repair. A repaired write-off can be sold again, but it’s worth less.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a Basic Car Report and a Full History Report?

This Basic Car Report is free and built from public DVLA and DVSA records for Y2 MVP: its MOT history, the mileage recorded at each MOT, tax and SORN status, ULEZ status and safety recalls where available. The Full History Report adds the checks those public records can’t show: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, police stolen records, previous owners, plate changes and mileage records from beyond the MOT.

How can I check if a car has outstanding finance or has been stolen?

Neither is in the Basic Car Report, because public DVLA and DVSA records don’t include finance agreements or police stolen reports; they come from separate finance and police data. The Full History Report checks both for Y2 MVP, along with write-offs and previous owners, before you hand over any money.

What should I check before buying a used car?

Start with the public checks in this report: the MOT history for repeat failures and advisories, mileage readings that rise steadily, tax and SORN status, and any outstanding safety recalls. Then check what public records don’t show: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, stolen records and ownership history. Finally, see the car in person and make sure the V5C logbook and VIN match the car and the seller.

What should I check before buying a used BMW?

BMWs fail their MOT most often on lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment: 23% of their failures, against 25% for all cars. Tyres account for more of their failures than average, 22% against 13%. In this car’s MOT history above, look for failures and advisories in those areas and ask whether they were fixed.

Are BMWs reliable used cars?

MOT results are a useful public guide. In 2025, BMWs passed 79.3% of their initial MOT tests, 7 points above the 72.3% average for all cars and 18th of 63 makes. Older ones pass less often, 88.3% at 3 to 5 years old against 70.3% at 11 years and over, so how this car has been looked after matters most: its MOT history above is the best evidence. Compare every BMW model’s MOT record.
