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 18 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 21,054 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of neglect, presents significant future maintenance risks.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2020 (343 mi/yr equivalent) and Jun 2021 (66 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in usage from 2018 onwards, indicating inconsistent usage patterns.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage for a 20-year-old vehicle (21,054 mi) points to long periods of inactivity.
  • The 2018 MOT noted 'Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge' and 'Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge' on the same day.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 demonstrates a strong safety focus from the manufacturer.
