AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Bmw has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 69,617 miles. The high mileage and recurring advisories on critical systems like brakes and suspension indicate significant wear and potential neglect.
A critical 50,129-mile decrease occurred between June 2010 (170,323 mi) and July 2011 (120,194 mi), and a 4-year gap in mileage records is present, indicating severe odometer fraud or data manipulation.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2010 (170,323 mi) and Jul 2011 (120,194 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased by 50,129 miles between Jun 2010 (170,323 mi) and Jul 2011 (120,194 mi) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Mileage records show a 4-year gap (Jul 2013–Aug 2014) with no MOT tests recorded — unexplained history.
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 6 tests (2009, 2010, 2017) indicate chronic neglect of critical safety components.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high level of safety for its time.
- No single major system has failed repeatedly in the last 2–3 years, suggesting some issues were addressed.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent MOT history, with 10 of 14 tests passing, showing it has been driven regularly.
