BMW M22019 · 3.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT result from 30 December 2025 at 45,835 miles showing no defects. This marks the third consecutive pass since 2024, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend. The previous failure in December 2024 was solely due to a non-conforming rear registration plate, a minor compliance issue unrelated to mechanical integrity. Since then, all tests have passed without any safety-critical or advisory findings, suggesting consistent upkeep and reliable performance. Mileage progression shows a steady usage pattern over the past three years: 20,064 miles (August 2023), 20,606 miles (January 2024), 33,614 miles (December 2024), and 45,835 miles (December 2025). This equates to approximately 6,548 miles per year—within the expected range for a 7-year-old vehicle. Notably, there is a gap of just under eight months between the January 2024 and December 2024 tests, during which mileage increased by about 13,000 miles, reflecting a period of higher usage. However, this spike does not appear to have caused any mechanical degradation, as both subsequent tests were passed with no issues. Despite the overall positive record, the repeated failure on the rear registration plate in December 2024 suggests potential lapses in attention to detail or documentation. Buyers should verify that the current plate complies with DVSA standards, including correct size, font, and mounting. In addition, while no structural or drivetrain faults have been recorded, the high annual mileage warrants a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly control arms, bushes, and coil springs—and brake system wear, including disc thickness and caliper function. A full check of exhaust emissions and corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, is also recommended given the vehicle’s age and exposure to typical UK driving conditions.
