2020 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Petrol · SR02 ADY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent MOT test on 10 October 2025 at 41,637 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This clean result suggests the current owner responded appropriately to safety concerns raised during the prior failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap between the March 2023 test at 30,037 miles and the July 2024 test at 37,283 miles, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in 16 months. While the low overall mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the data shows the vehicle has not necessarily been subject to basic consumable checks between these intervals. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the tyres and suspension due to recurring failures in these areas. The March 2023 test flagged rear tyres worn to the legal limit, and the July 2024 failure at 37,263 miles revealed both rear tyres below legal limits alongside a structural failure in the offside front inner tyre. These faults suggest a history of alignment issues or delayed maintenance regarding tyre replacement. A physical inspection should check for uneven wear across the current set and inspect the suspension bushes and bushings to ensure previous tyre failures have not caused underlying mechanical damage.
