BMW 5352016 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent test on 05 September 2025 at 112,733 miles. This follows a successful inspection in September 2024, indicating that previous mechanical failures were addressed promptly. The absence of advisories or defects in the last two MOT tests suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding essential maintenance and that the vehicle meets minimum safety standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,273 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase of 15,085 miles between August 2023 and September 2024, followed by another 10,473 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This regular usage pattern suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often benefits the condition of rubber components, seals, and the fluid systems within the BMW 5 series drivetrain. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the nearside rear wheel to ensure the fracture noted in the September 2024 failure at 102,181 miles was fully replaced with a genuine component. While the recent MOT records are clean, the mileage of over 112,000 miles warrants a check of suspension control arm bushings and coil springs. Look for signs of oil leaks around the engine manifold or corrosion on the brake calipers, as these are common points of wear for this specific engine generation despite a clean MOT history.
