BMW M42014 · 3.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a clean MOT record with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its last five annual tests without a single defect or advisory. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 126,278 miles confirms this consistent roadworthiness. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the official history. Mileage accumulation is steady and typical for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year over the past four years. The recorded intervals show regular use without significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. From 88,849 miles in November 2021 to 126,278 miles in November 2025, the annual increase is consistent, suggesting the car has been in continuous, normal operation. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on age-related wear items, even with the unblemished MOT history. Particular attention is required to the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for any deterioration. The brake system, especially rear calipers for binding and discs for thickness, must be checked beyond the MOT’s pass criteria. Tyre tread depth and age should be verified, as consumable wear may not always be flagged as an advisory. Finally, inspect the vehicle’s structural integrity for corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and underbody, given its 12-year lifespan. The absence of MOT advisories is positive, but it does not preclude the development of minor rust or wear since the last test. A comprehensive pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician is recommended to assess these areas in person.
