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 29 MOT tests on record with a 66% pass rate and 33,978 miles. The vehicle's age and consistent neglect make it a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: mileage decreased from 225,681 miles in Feb 2022 to 147,745 miles in Jan 2023, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2022 (225,681 mi) and Jan 2023 (147,745 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased from 225,681 miles (Feb 2022) to 147,745 miles (Jan 2023) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (3 failures), suspension (4 failures), and tyres (5 advisories).
  • Consistent pattern of DANGEROUS tyre defects (Jan 2019, Jan 2022) and MAJOR brake failures (Jan 2026).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety focus for its era.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,486 miles/yr (UK average: 8,000) suggests regular use.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
