BMW 5352012 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 22 December 2025 at 86,386 miles returned a pass, though it introduced an advisory for rear tyres wearing low on the inner edges. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension wear rather than mechanical failure, as the previous four annual tests showed clean records with no recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,170 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2024, the car covered 11,555 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The jump of 7,638 miles between the January 2024 and December 2025 tests represents a slight increase in annual mileage but remains well within typical parameters for a premium saloon of fourteen years old. The relatively low cumulative mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components have not been subjected to high-mileage stress or commuting. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension geometry specifically to address the inner tyre wear noted in the latest record. Checking for worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or shock absorbers is necessary to determine the cause of uneven wear. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake failures, the focus should remain on verifying age-related degradation on the chassis and ensuring that the rubber components have not perished despite the low mileage mileage.
