AI verdict AVOID 36/100

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 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 17,481 miles. The mileage is consistently low, but the pattern of unresolved advisories and escalating issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,982 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is a 20-year-old car with a history of recurring issues.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2025): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-01-21, previously advisory on 2023-01-20.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 8 tests (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026).
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 tests (2020, 2021, 2022, 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 5,982 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects in the last 2 years.
