Now my car something like 944, but if it knew i had almost zero BMW maintenance history, what would be the score?

Just ran an identical M4 and Thad a score of 999 despite double the bloody mileage - bonkers

I think that this site isn't a good fit for that sort of algorithm doodah.

These cars are enthusiast vehicles, we tinker with them, read up on them and wash and wax them to the nth degree (mine probably weighs more than average with the amount of wax on it) so they're not the same as the family buzzboxes which are often bought by those who just want a workhorse for picking up the kids, schlepping to work and shopping whilst doing the bare minimum to keep them running.

It's probably OK for those drivers who will possibly be buying or selling on Facebook or the classifieds

From what has been said and looking at the scores, it is purely dragging data from the MOT history from the DVLA (which is free for anyone to see anyway). Then somehow 'comparing' that to other cars, presumably of the same age and make. To try to get a league table of sorts!

There has obviously been some work done to try to 'fill in the holes', but those are woefully deficient from the responses here.

I really hope it doesn't become a tool for buyers (or sellers if you get a good score) unless they can get it to be a lot more accurate.

TBH mate, if it could pick up some of the posts you've made recently about your E89, I think you should be happy with about 9!

Thats the issue Pondy - its way to inaccurate, how could my olde89 score far more than Zed Baron or yours with over double the mileage and no clue on history etc

Stop buying shite

Ouch Andy, what do I replace it with, I work from home with 3 cars on the drive and hardly drive anywhere. There are lots of cars out there that I would like, but with the looming rise of the milk floats (I'm not convinced by EV's), I think my money is better placed in my piggy bank at the moment. I looked at the G29 and for the 1500 miles it might do in the year... is it worth the extra expense/depreciation? I only bought the RCZ so I didn't have to get the Z out the garage during the winter, also it gave me something to tinker with during the winter
