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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 91,491 miles. The mileage anomalies and recurring advisories for major components raise significant concerns.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2012 (10 mi/yr equivalent) and a 3-year unrecorded MOT history (Jan 2009–Oct 2012), with a significant jump to 163,335 miles by March 2019.
Things to check
- No MOT recorded for 3 years (Jan 2009–Oct 2012) — critical unverified mileage and safety history.
- Mar 2019 MOT failure: Rear brake pads and discs worn, both rear tyres at limit — major safety items.
- Recurring advisories for anti-roll bar link, engine oil, and tyres across multiple tests.
- Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage before Oct 2012 and a 3-year gap in MOT history.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the March 2019 test.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,470 miles/year after 2012, aligning with UK average.
- The BMW N54 engine is known for its durability when properly maintained.
