BMW 3 SERIES2013 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 88,263 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved a pass following immediate re-tests. While the record shows instances of failure in 2024 and 2026, the rapid resolution of these issues suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects rather than allowing mechanical or safety faults to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered 19,221 miles, indicating steady use rather than long periods of inactivity. This mileage profile often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, seals, and hoses, which may perish over time regardless of the distance recorded on the odometer. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that triggered the two recent failures, although the provided data does not specify the exact defect codes for the 2024 and 2026 failures. Given the age of this BMW, it is essential to check for signs of corrosion on the subframe and structural points, as well as the condition of the control arms and shock absorbers. Inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs and pads, as these are common points of failure on this model that frequently lead to MOT advisories.
