BMW 3 SERIES2004 · 2.2L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests, the most recent on 2025-12-05 at 61,050 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show passing results, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. No advisories or critical failures are noted, suggesting the car has been well-kept within its low annual mileage range. The recorded mileage of 61,050 miles over 22 years equates to approximately 2,775 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion-prone areas. The MOTs are spaced consistently every 12 months, with no gaps in testing, but the low mileage raises questions about potential age-related degradation not flagged in the records. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, common in older vehicles with minimal use. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can mask underlying issues. Structural integrity, particularly underbody rust, warrants attention due to the car’s age and the likelihood of stagnant conditions affecting metalwork. No specific faults are documented, but the maintenance history does not confirm proactive servicing beyond MOT compliance.
