Our Verdict

Highly recommended for enthusiasts seeking a low-mileage modern classic. The exceptionally low mileage and generally clean MOT history make this a rare and desirable find.

The primary focus for a buyer should be the service history. With a car covering fewer than 2,000 miles a year, oil changes and fluid replacements should have done annually regardless of mileage to prevent degradation. Ensure that the timing belt has been replaced according to time-based intervals, as rubber components age over decades even with low use.

Pay close attention to the advisories from the 2023 MOT regarding suspension arm bushes. While these did not cause a failure, they indicate the start of rubber wear due to age. Check for any leaks from the power steering or cooling system during the test drive, as seals can dry out on E46 generation BMWs that have sat for long periods.
