2017 BMW 3353.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 131,882 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the issues identified in late 2023 have have been addressed. The clean results in both 2024 and 2026 indicate that the previous owner responded to advisory requirements once they were flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 12,157 miles covered between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 7,618 miles in the fourteen months leading up to the most recent test. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and rubber components to prevent drying and seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear-end suspension and braking system. The December 2023 test noted a light misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber; while this did not cause a failure at the time, it should be monitored for increased leakage which indicates imminent failure. Additionally, the front brake discs were flagged as pitted or scored during that same period, so the buyer must verify the thickness and condition of the current discs to ensure they were replaced as advised. Given the previous advisory for rear tyres reaching the legal limit, a thorough check of the remaining tread depth across all four tyres is necessary to ensure no immediate replacement is required.
