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 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 70,526 miles. The vehicle has been off the road for 4 years (2008-2012), and its high mileage and age present significant mechanical and safety risks.
The mileage trajectory shows consistent high usage (13,733 miles/year), but a critical 4-year gap (Sep 2008–Nov 2012) means the vehicle's condition and maintenance during that period are entirely unverified.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2014-12-05; vehicle has been off the road for 10+ years, posing unknown safety risks.
- Recurring major failures: tyres (Oct 2007), anti-roll bar bush (Nov 2012), and emissions (Nov 2012).
- High mileage (163,934 miles by Dec 2013) for a 2002 vehicle, indicating heavy use and accelerated wear.
- Critical 4-year MOT gap (Sep 2008–Nov 2012) means the vehicle's condition and maintenance during that period are entirely unverified.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model year.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
- The vehicle has a consistent high mileage, suggesting regular use and potentially fewer hidden issues from long periods of disuse.
