2014 BMW 3162.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history at its most recent inspection. The August 2025 test at 93,636 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test occurred just two days prior on 07 August 2025 at 93,566 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor clerical error or a non-mechanical failure that was rectified immediately. This recent success indicates the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state regarding its statutory requirements. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 62,057 miles in February 2023 to 75,757 miles in July 2024, followed by a more rapid increase to 93,636 miles by August 2025. This recent uptick suggests the vehicle has seen increased usage over the last year. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the car has been sitting idle for extended periods. Since the MOT records show no advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the mechanical history appears remarkably clean. However, the sudden increase in annual mileage between 2024 and 2025 warrants a physical inspection of consumable wear items. A buyer should scrutinise the tyre tread depth and condition, as well as the brake pad thickness and disc corrosion levels. Given the vehicle's age and the recent increase in use, a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system is recommended. While the MOT history does not indicate any ongoing mechanical trends or recurring faults, the transition to higher annual mileage means the suspension components and drivetrain bushings should be checked for signs of premature wear during a physical inspection.
