BMW 3352017 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT on 15 January 2026 at 70,399 miles with zero defects recorded. Following advisories for rear tyre wear in January 2024 and worn brake components in January 2022, the subsequent tests show no further issues. This indicates that the previous owner addressed the tyre wear and likely replaced the braking consumables, returning the car to a well-maintained state. The absence of any current advisories or failures suggests the vehicle is in sound roadworthiness condition today. Accumulating 70,399 miles over nine years equates to roughly 7,800 miles annually, a typical usage profile for this model. The mileage progression is steady and consistent, showing no alarming jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the January 2025 test at 63,460 miles and the January 2026 test at 70,399 miles, the car covered 6,939 miles, aligning perfectly with the long-term average. Such regular use implies the engine and drivetrain have been exercised sufficiently without excessive strain. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer should closely inspect the rear tyres for inner edge wear, as this specific wear pattern returned as an advisory in January 2024 at 56,687 miles. Inner tyre wear typically points to suspension geometry issues, particularly worn suspension bushes or damaged coil springs, which may not trigger an MOT failure but compromise handling. Similarly, the January 2022 test at 41,533 miles flagged heavily lipped and corroded front brake discs alongside 3mm pads all round. Verify whether the braking components were replaced since then, or if the current setup still relies on the original, corroded discs. A physical inspection of the structural integrity around the suspension mounting points and the condition of the brake discs will confirm whether the previous owner merely patched the issues or performed lasting repairs.
