BMW M31995 · 3.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 2024-11-26 at 91,959 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive clean tests in 2023 and 2022, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, despite a minor failure in September 2022 that was swiftly rectified before the next test. The mileage progression shows exceptionally low annual usage—only 118 miles between August 2023 and November 2024, and just 72 miles between September 2022 and September 2023—suggesting the car has been stored or driven sparingly for long stretches. The brief spike in mileage from 91,771 to 91,846 miles between March and September 2022 aligns with the failed test and subsequent repairs, but overall, the pattern reflects minimal wear, consistent with its 31-year age and under 92,000 miles. A buyer should inspect the stop lamp and horn circuits thoroughly, given their recent failure in 2022, and verify that repairs were carried out correctly. With such low annual mileage, rubber components like suspension bushes, brake hoses, and exhaust mounts may have hardened or cracked from age rather than wear, so a visual and physical check for dry-rot or stiffness is advisable. The brake discs and pads, though not flagged in any test, could show corrosion or binding if the car sat idle for extended periods, and the clutch and transmission mounts should be assessed for age-related stiffness or play. Structural rust is unlikely to be severe at this mileage, but checking the rear arches, sills, and suspension mounting points remains prudent.
