BMW 6351985 · 3.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 confirmed the vehicle passed with 6,507 miles recorded. No defects were noted, and this aligns with the prior passing results from 2025-02-28 (5,024 miles) and 2024-02-21 (4,827 miles). The vehicle has shown consistent compliance with safety standards in its last three MOTs, suggesting no immediate risks from the most recent testing. A single failure occurred on 2022-10-28 at 3,459 miles, citing three issues: a non-functional nearside windscreen washer, excessive engine oil leakage, and a damaged offside track rod end dust cover. The subsequent MOT on 2022-11-04 (3,461 miles) passed, indicating these defects were likely addressed. No further failures or defects have been recorded since, implying the vehicle’s condition has stabilized after the 2022 issues. The mileage of 6,507 miles over 41 years equates to roughly 159 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. This could suggest long periods of inactivity or minimal use, which may lead to dry joints, degraded seals, or stagnant fluids. However, the absence of recurring defects in recent MOTs mitigates some concerns about ongoing mechanical deterioration. The low mileage creates an ambiguous picture.
