2013 BMW 320 2.0L Diesel · HY12 DAR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 September 2025 at 96,410 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that while minor issues occasionally require immediate rectification, the owner has addressed them promptly to meet testing standards. The history shows a clean record regarding major mechanical or structural failures over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows 4,167 miles driven between the September 2023 test at 87,454 miles and the October 2024 test at 91,621 miles, followed by another 4,789 miles leading into the September 2025 test. This regularity indicates consistent use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like seals and brake assemblies that suffer from the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record lacks specific recorded advisories, the recurring same-day failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle frequently fails on minor items that require immediate attention. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control-arm bolts, as these are common points of wear on BMW chassis at this mileage. Given the age of the car, checking for corrosion on the brake lines and the condition of the brake discs is also essential to ensure no hidden degradation is occurring beyond what the annual test captures.
