BMW M32007 · 4.0L PETROL

This 2007 BMW M3 presents a mostly clean history, but the most recent test reveals a specific maintenance requirement that needs immediate attention. The vehicle passed its MOT in October 2025 with an advisory for a minor exhaust gas leak. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates that the exhaust system is beginning to degrade and will likely require repair soon. The condition trend has been historically stable, with four years of clean passes prior to 2025. The appearance of this defect suggests the car is now entering a phase where age-related wear is starting to show, moving away from the previously spotless record. With an average of roughly 3,100 miles per year, this vehicle has seen very low usage for its age. While this preserves the engine and drivetrain, such low mileage often leads to issues with perishable components like rubber hoses, suspension bushes, and tyres that degrade over time regardless of use. It also implies the car may have spent long periods stationary. You should inspect the exhaust system closely to locate the source of the gas leak, listening for any blowing noises while the engine is running. Given the low mileage, check the condition of all tyres for age-related cracking and inspect the rubber coolant hoses and belts for signs of dry rot or perishing.
