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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 26,394 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2024-01-25, which is impossible for a 20-year-old car.

The vehicle shows a critical 20-year gap in recorded mileage, with no MOT tests between 2009 and 2023, followed by a suspiciously low 308 miles/year equivalent before Jan 2023.

Things to check

  • MILEAGE FRAUD: 20-year gap in MOT mileage records (2009–2023) — critical for fraud detection.
  • CRITICAL SAFETY FAILURE: Major failure for Offside Rear Tyre bulge (2010-03-25) — structural integrity concern.
  • MOT STATUS CRISIS: Vehicle currently shows 'Not valid' MOT status with an impossible expiry date (2024-01-25).
  • UNVERIFIED HISTORY: No MOT tests recorded between 2009 and 2023 — a major red flag for hidden issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — exceptional safety credentials for a 2006 BMW.
  • No Recurring Major Failures: Despite the 20-year mileage gap, no major failures were repeated in the recent MOT history.
  • Consistent Annual Usage: Average 6,559 miles/year is well below UK average, suggesting light use.
  • No Outstanding Recalls: No specific recalls identified in the provided MOT history.
