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 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 56,097 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,268 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2022 MOT gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Road wheel cracked on 2010-03-20.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded on 2010-03-20.
  • Recurring advisories for brake hose and headlamp issues across multiple tests.
  • Brake hose advisory present on the most recent MOT (May 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,268 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for its era.
