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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 45,259 miles. The recurring brake system failures and a dangerous suspension defect are major red flags, making this a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is highly anomalous, with a critical decrease from 152,023 miles in Nov 2014 to 15,564 miles in Nov 2015, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2014 (152,023 mi) and Nov 2015 (15,564 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 152,023 miles (Nov 2014) to 15,564 miles (Nov 2015) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Brake system failures in Oct 2006 (pitted disc, efficiency) and Oct 2007 (efficiency) — recurring safety concern.
  • Offside Front Suspension arm excessive play in a pin/bush (Oct 2007) — dangerous structural defect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates good structural integrity for its age.
  • No recurring failures in the same system category after initial repairs — owner addressed immediate issues.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2015, albeit very low, suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since Nov 2015, indicating a period of stability.
