2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · CY05 HEA

The 2016 BMW 3 Series presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 14 May 2025 at 116,253 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent and trouble-free since at least late 2021. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,625 miles per year against the 116,253 miles recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 59,673 miles on 4 November 2021, rising to 60,259 by 31 May 2022, then 79,246 in May 2023, 97,204 in May 2024, and 116,253 in May 2025. A single longer gap exists between the November 2021 and May 2022 tests covering only 586 miles, likely due to the off-cycle winter test date rather than disuse. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and mechanical wear without deferred work. With no advisories logged for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the DVSA data alone reveals no recurring faults or escalating risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, suspension arm condition, and underbody for hidden corrosion, as MOT passes do not measure remaining component life. The absence of flagged items implies responsible ownership, though high-mileage BMWs of this era warrant scrutiny of timing chain and turbo oil feed condition beyond the MOT scope.
