BMW 3 SERIES2016 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 1 December 2025 at 94,285 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The most recent test followed a failed attempt on 28 November 2025 at 94,232 miles where the tester recorded no defects, indicating the failure arose from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault with suspension, brakes, or emissions. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 model, with the odometer showing 78,667 miles in January 2024, 80,127 by June 2024, 82,003 in November 2024, and 94,285 by December 2025. That final jump of roughly 12,000 miles in twelve months is marginally above the long-term average of 9,428 per year but not abnormal for private use. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, worn tyres, or binding calipers ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is now ten years old and BMW floor pans and subframes are prone to moisture damage unseen by MOT testers in dry conditions. The brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes warrant physical measurement despite the absence of advisories, as consumable wear accelerates once mileage passes 90,000. The repeated clean results and the no-defect failure suggest the previous owner maintained basic statutory compliance but the November 2025 failure so close to the pass implies a lapse in paperwork or presentation rather than mechanical neglect. Verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure cause before purchase.
