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

This 2002 Bmw has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 35,649 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2014 service gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,869 miles per year, with a notable 2-year period (Oct 2012 to Oct 2013) where only 2,359 miles were recorded.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories (Oct 2007, Oct 2008, Oct 2009) indicate chronic maintenance neglect.
  • Multiple brake system failures (Oct 2009, Oct 2010, Oct 2011) and advisories (Oct 2009, Oct 2012) point to a history of brake issues.
  • The 2014 MOT gap, combined with the SORN status, suggests periods of inactivity or neglect.
  • The 2002 BMW is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a current, clean MOT pass as of Sep 2016, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a high level of safety assurance for a 24-year-old vehicle.
