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

This 2002 Bmw has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 47,557 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2017-01-13, which is a critical legal and safety concern.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,544 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the vehicle has been off-road for extended periods.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' with expiry 2017-01-13 — vehicle is currently unroadworthy and illegal to drive.
  • 8 major failures across critical safety systems (lights, brakes, tyres, suspension) — persistent neglect of core safety components.
  • Recurring tyre failures (6 tests) and brake disc wear (5 tests) — clear pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • Dangerous defects like excessive wheel bearing play (2007-11-09) — safety-critical component failure.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,544 miles/year — no odometer fraud detected.
  • No recurring failures in the same system category since 2015 — owner addressed immediate issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety fundamentals for its era.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
