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 21 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 12,750 miles. Recurring advisories for tyres, shock absorbers, and engine oil suggest ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage before Feb 2021 (187 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Mar 2026 (85 mi/yr equivalent), indicating periods of very low or no use.

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly anomalous, with suspiciously low usage before Feb 2021 (187 mi/yr) and again before Mar 2026 (85 mi/yr).
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2026) and shock absorbers (Mar 2022, Mar 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Engine oil advisory noted in 6 separate tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2026) suggests a persistent issue.
  • The 2005 BMW is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
