This 2005 Bmw has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 24,482 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, indicating potential fraud.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: only 397 miles were recorded between registration in Jan 2005 and the first MOT in Aug 2018, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 2,865 miles in 2018-2019).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 4 separate tests (Aug 2018, Sep 2020, Jul 2022, Jul 2023).
- 5 MOT failures across 11 tests, including major engine/oil and bodywork defects (Sep 2020, Jul 2022, Jul 2023).
- Critical 15-year MOT gap from 2009-10-15 to 2017-03-08, with no recorded activity.
- Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 397 miles in the first 13 years and extremely low annual usage (e.g., 2,865 miles in 2018-2019).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety focus for this model.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since the first MOT in 2018.
