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 26 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 63,449 miles. The vehicle's past and current condition present an unacceptable level of risk.

The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease of 616,535 miles between 17 Mar 2021 (721,016 mi) and 17 Mar 2021 (104,481 mi), indicating a clear odometer tampering issue.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Mar 2021 (721,016 mi) and Mar 2022 (104,481 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 616,535 miles on 17 Mar 2021 (721,016 mi to 104,481 mi) — clear odometer fraud.
  • Multiple DANGEROUS tyre failures (Dec 2019, Mar 2021, Mar 2022) and a fractured wheel (Nov 2011) — severe safety history.
  • Recurring major brake failures (Mar 2022, Apr 2022) and advisories (7 related items) — indicates chronic brake system neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 14 May 2027 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the last test in Apr 2026.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 5,571 miles/yr (pre-2022) — low wear and tear.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standard for its era.
