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 22 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 10,797 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a recent high mileage jump, raises serious concerns about its true condition and usage history.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 10,797 miles over 24 years, but a significant 5,250-mile jump between July 2024 and July 2025 is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 37,147 miles over 24 years (Jan 2002).
- Critical mileage anomaly: 5,250-mile jump between July 2024 (31,897 mi) and July 2025 (37,147 mi).
- Persistent tyre advisories: 16 advisories across 4 tests (Jun 2018, Jun 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2024).
- Recurring brake pad wear: 3 advisories across 2 tests (Aug 2023, Jun 2024).
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT pass record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with only one minor failure.
- No dangerous defects recorded: all failures and advisories are minor to major, not life-threatening.
- Valid MOT until August 2026: provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage (pre-2024): shows a pattern of low, consistent use for many years.
