AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Bmw has 11 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 35,060 miles. However, a significant 3-year MOT gap and suspiciously low mileage for its age raise serious concerns.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2013, but a critical 3-year MOT gap (Feb 2013–Oct 2016) means unverified mileage and potential long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Unverified usage for 3 years (Feb 2013–Oct 2016) due to missing MOT records.
- Mileage trajectory: Suspiciously low annual mileage (771 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2016.
- Recurring advisories: Tyres and brakes flagged in 3 separate tests, indicating ongoing wear.
- Major suspension failure: Offside Rear coil spring incomplete (Aug 2006) — a structural concern.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT: Passed Oct 2016 with no failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent failures: The Oct 2016 MOT was a clean pass, showing the owner addressed issues.
- Consistent mileage: Normal annual usage (10,782 mi/yr) before the 2013 gap.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating (2017) for a 2003 BMW model.
