AI verdict CAUTION 71/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2017 Bmw has 7 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 22,211 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, coupled with a 5-year gap in MOT records, raises serious questions about its true history and potential hidden wear.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 22,211 miles by June 2020, followed by normal annual usage, but the 5-mile anomaly before Sep 2025 is a major red flag for odometer integrity.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 5 miles recorded before Sep 2025 is a critical odometer integrity concern.
  • Low annual mileage: Only 7,267 miles/year for a 2017, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • No MOT history 2026-01 to 2026-09: A 5-month gap in MOT records is highly unusual.
  • BMW N54 engine: Known for N54 engine reliability issues (HPFP, water pump, turbo failures) at ~180k miles.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
  • 7 consecutive MOT passes with no failures: Strong record of roadworthiness and maintenance.
  • No dangerous defects recorded: All past advisories were minor and immediately addressed.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: Excellent safety features for a 2017 model.
