2014 BMW 3162.0L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-12-17 at 106,262 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-12-16 at 103,262 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency suggests either a data entry error or an unrecorded issue between the two tests. Subsequent MOTs from 2024 to 2022 show consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record prior to the 2025 tests. The lack of recorded faults in the latest test implies the car is currently roadworthy, though the abrupt failure and subsequent pass warrant further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,262 miles at 12 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 8,855 miles, typical for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing every 12 months, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2024-12-23 test at 89,660 miles and the 2023-12-14 test at 80,777 miles reflect steady, predictable wear. The only anomaly is the 3,000-mile jump between the 2025-12-16 failed test and the 2025-12-17 pass, which could indicate a data entry error or unrecorded repairs. Overall, the mileage pattern suggests consistent use without excessive strain on components. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity, particularly the braking system and suspension, as these are common wear points in older BMWs. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the failed MOT without noted issues raises questions about potential unresolved problems. Inspect for signs of corrosion, especially in the exhaust system, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear. Confirm the suspension bushes and coil springs are intact, as these can degrade over time without immediate warning. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears intact, but a physical inspection is essential to validate the MOT records.
