This 2004 Bmw has 23 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 29,443 miles. The mileage history is also highly irregular, suggesting periods of very low usage.

The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage (424 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2021, followed by normal usage, and a recent spike in annual mileage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jun 2026): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-06-03 (test 194,978 mi) after ADVISORY on 2025-05-24.
  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Jan 2020, Feb 2022), exhaust (Feb 2022, Jun 2026), and engine oil (Feb 2022, Jun 2026).
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Feb 2021 (424 mi/yr equivalent).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2027-06-03, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural corrosion or recurring suspension failures.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,692 miles/year since 2021.
