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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 52,275 miles. The vehicle has been off-road since 2016, with no valid MOT and a 24-year-old age, making it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,917 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but a significant 24-month gap in MOT history is a major concern.
Things to check
- Six major MOT failures across critical safety systems (emissions, lights, suspension, brakes).
- Recurring major failures in exhaust (Jun 2006 advisory, Feb 2013 fail) and suspension arm (Mar 2016 advisory).
- Consistent advisories for worn brake pads (Feb 2016) and cracking tyres (Mar 2016) indicate chronic wear.
- The vehicle has been off-road since 2016 with no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,917 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2002 BMW is a positive for safety features.
