This 2006 Bmw has 14 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 19,126 miles. The car is currently untaxed and MOT expired, requiring immediate verification.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Dec 2020 (530 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, but a 2022 MOT gap suggests potential off-road use or unrecorded history.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 19,126 miles over 20 years (Jan 2006 to Feb 2023) is extremely low.
- MOT Gap: No MOT recorded for 2022, indicating potential off-road use or unverified history.
- Tax Status: Vehicle is currently Untaxed, requiring immediate re-registration and tax payment.
- MOT Expiry: MOT expired on 2024-02-08, meaning it is not currently valid or compliant.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT Record: 3 tests passed with no failures recorded, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- No Dangerous Defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects found in the MOT history.
- Consistent Recent Passes: Last two MOTs (Dec 2021, Feb 2023) passed without failures.
- Euro NCAP Rating: 5-star safety rating for this model, indicating good structural integrity.
