Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but ensure maintenance is up to date. This is a remarkably low-mileage example of a classic BMW, though its age requires a cautious eye on rubber components.
Given the very low mileage for a 1999 vehicle, your primary focus should be on the age of rubber components rather than wear and tear. Even if the car hasn't driven much, tyres, belts, and suspension bushes can perish over time. Check the manufacture date on the tyres to ensure they aren't aged and cracked.
When negotiating, ask for a detailed service history. With such low annual mileage, it is vital to know if the oil and fluids have been changed annually regardless of distance. Look for evidence of recent suspension work, as the 2022 MOT failure noted an excessively worn offside rear suspension arm bush.
