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

This 2005 Bmw has 20 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 39,700 miles. The recurring brake hose advisory and a 1.9L engine with known N54/N20 timing chain issues present significant risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 39,700 miles recorded over 21 years, and a 5-year gap in MOT testing from 2007 to 2018.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 39,700 miles over 21 years (Jan 2005 to May 2025) is extremely low.
  • MOT history gap: No MOT tests recorded from 2007-09-21 to 2018-08-04.
  • High-risk engine: 1.9L N54/N20 engine has known timing chain and HPFP issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Clean MOT record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures recorded.
  • No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects found in the MOT history.
  • Consistent recent passes: Last three MOT tests (2022, 2023, 2024) were all clean passes.
