AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Bmw has 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 53,144 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2017-11-20, which is a critical red flag for a 24-year-old car.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,330 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but the vehicle has been off-road since 2016.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2017-11-20; current status 'Not valid' — critical for a 24-year-old vehicle.
  • 7 major failures across critical systems (lights, brakes, tyres) — indicates systemic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Aug 2008, Aug 2008) — a 24-year-old car with unresolved wear.
  • Recurring brake hose advisories (Nov 2016) — a 24-year-old car with unresolved wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent with no anomalies or fraud indicators.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe vehicle for its era.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
