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 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.
