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

This 2006 Bmw has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 20,854 miles. The 2012 MOT failure for brake pads and headlamp aim, combined with the persistent tyre advisories, indicates a need for thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,106 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though the 2018 failure occurred at 139,854 miles.

Things to check

  • 2018-11-30 MOT failure for worn tyres (3mm) on all four wheels, a recurring issue.
  • 2012-01-16 MOT failure for nearside front brake pads and headlamp aim.
  • Tyre advisories from 2018-11-30 and 2019-11-30 indicate a pattern of neglect.
  • The 2018-11-30 MOT failure for worn tyres on all four wheels is a major safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for its time.
