This 2004 Bmw has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 114,364 miles. This fundamental issue makes the vehicle's true condition and value unassessable.
A 48,989-mile decrease is recorded between the Nov 2009 (145,152 mi) and Mar 2010 (96,163 mi) MOT tests, a clear red flag for odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2009 (145,152 mi) and Mar 2010 (96,163 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased 48,989 miles between Nov 2009 (145,152 mi) and Mar 2010 (96,163 mi) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- First registration Jan 2004; MOT expired 2011-02-28, meaning it has been off-road for years, raising serious questions about its condition.
- The 2008-11-11 test failure for windscreen damage and insufficient washer liquid, though rectified, indicates basic maintenance neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a high level of safety for its age.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a consistent high annual mileage, indicating regular use and potential for good maintenance history.
