BMW 3202018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 94,062 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improving stability following a period of reactive repairs. While the history indicates past issues with braking components, the last three annual tests suggest the current owner has addressed identified mechanical faults and is maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 15,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 15,676 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the car is driven frequently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the rubber seals and engine components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system due to the recurring failures. The January 2023 test at 49,829 miles flagged rear pads as 80 percent worn, followed by a failure in February 2024 at 62,580 miles where pads were below the legal 1.5mm limit. Although the car has passed since, these entries indicate a history of running consumables until the failure point. Inspect the brake discs for scoring or thinning and check the rear calipers for binding to ensure the pistons are not seizing. Given the mileage approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and coil springs is also advisable as these components often reach significant wear at this interval.
