This 2002 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 88,760 miles. The 24-year-old vehicle presents significant unknown risks and high maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 140,362 miles recorded in Feb 2019, averaging 8,194 miles per year, which is consistent with UK average.
Things to check
- Vehicle is 24 years old (registered Jan 2002), well past typical service life.
- MOT expired 2020-02-12; no valid MOT certificate is currently in force.
- Tax status is 'Untaxed' as of the latest DVLA data, indicating no current road tax.
- The single MOT test from 2019 has no subsequent MOT history, a critical red flag for a 24-year-old car.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded on the single test from 2019.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,194 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
