AI verdict AVOID 30/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 15,582 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring safety-critical advisories make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle exhibits a highly irregular mileage pattern, with suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 61 miles/year before Oct 2018, 332 miles/year before Oct 2021) and a significant jump in usage before Aug 2018, raising serious odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

Extensive recurring brake disc wear advisories (Aug 2018, Oct 2018, Oct 2019, Oct 2020, Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Nov 2025) indicate chronic neglect.
Multiple subframe corrosion advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2022, Oct 2023, Oct 2024, Nov 2025) suggest severe structural degradation.
Unusually high mileage jump before Aug 2018 (36,157 mi/yr equivalent) and suspiciously low usage (61 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2018 point to potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle has been in use for only 15,582 miles over 22 years, indicating extremely low annual usage and potential for long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
No major structural failures have been recorded on the MOT history, despite numerous advisories.
The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good inherent safety features.
