1988 BMW M3 2.3L Petrol · K706 EBH

The 1988 BMW M3 is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT test on 11 November 2023 at 79,490 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no defects recorded on the 2022 MOT test and only minor issues identified in the 2023 test, which were subsequently addressed. However, the fact that the vehicle failed its MOT in September 2023 due to tyre fouling indicates a need for closer inspection of the vehicle's suspension and steering geometry. The recorded mileage of 79,490 miles, accumulated over approximately 38 years, is remarkably low, suggesting the vehicle has been driven sparingly or has spent extended periods standing. At an average annual mileage of about 2,092 miles, this is a fraction of the typical mileage expected for a vehicle of this age. The lack of notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation in the record suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and used consistently over the years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres, suspension, and steering geometry in person, paying particular attention to the inner wing and anti-roll bar bracket areas, where tyre fouling was reported. The rear fog lamp not working on the 2023 test also warrants investigation, as it may indicate a more widespread electrical issue. Furthermore, the vehicle's brake system should be examined, particularly the rear brakes, which were flagged as binding on the 2023 test. The buyer should also check for any signs of corrosion or structural damage, as these can be indicative of more serious issues.
