AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Bmw has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 83,114 miles. The provided data includes a single MOT pass in 2007, but no subsequent records, making its current roadworthiness and safety unverified.
The vehicle has no MOT history, so mileage cannot be verified against official records. However, the single 2007-12-31 MOT pass recorded 83,114 miles, which is a significant concern for a 2004 car.
Things to check
- No MOT history recorded for a 22-year-old vehicle (registered 2004).
- The single 2007-12-31 MOT pass is the only recorded test, with no subsequent history.
- Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 83,114 miles by 2007-12-31 for a 2004 car.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) with no valid MOT.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- The single 2007-12-31 MOT pass indicates the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
- No recorded failures or advisories on the single MOT test from 2007-12-31.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 suggests good inherent safety features.
