2019 BMW 3202.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in proactive maintenance. In the July 11, 2025, test at 55,527 miles, the car initially failed due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and a worn nearside rear tyre. While it passed upon retest the same day, the presence of an MIL fault suggests potential underlying sensor or electronic issues that the previous owner ignored until the MOT deadline. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 22,458 miles in September 2022 to 33,210 miles in June 2023, and then to 46,970 miles by July 2024. This consistent usage suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of sitting, which can often lead to component degradation, though it does explain the uneven tyre wear seen in the 2025 failure. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry and alignment. The 2025 failure specifically noted the nearside rear tyre was worn on the edge, which frequently points to worn control arm bushes or a bent subframe component rather than simple tread loss. Furthermore, a diagnostic tool scan is necessary to ensure the engine management system fault code was properly rectified and not merely cleared temporarily, as recurring MIL faults can mask serious fuel economy issues or catalytic converter damage over time.
