BMW M31998 · 3.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT test on 2024-07-19 resulted in a clean pass at 100,370 miles, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no new defects introduced since the 2024-07-02 test, which flagged minor ball joint play. This suggests the previous issues were rectified. The low annual mileage of approximately 3,585 miles per year over 28 years implies the car has seen minimal wear, though it also suggests the suspension components may have aged in storage. The 2022 MOT identified deteriorating rear tyre rubber, which should be replaced, and the 2018 test noted severe wear on the anti-roll bar dust cover and mounting issues beneath underseal. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for compression, check the brake discs for corrosion, and examine the exhaust system for rust, given the vehicle's age and the previous advisory on the rear suspension mounting.
