BMW M22016 · 3.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT, carried out on 22 January 2026 at 39,052 mi, was a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent record of passes dating back to April 2023, each showing “no defects” at the time of testing. Across the five MOTs the mileage has risen from 17,175 mi in April 2023 to 39,052 mi in January 2026 – an average of roughly 7,200 mi per year. The jump between October 2024 and September 2025 (about 11,700 mi in eleven months) suggests a period of more regular driving, but even that level is modest for a ten‑year‑old performance car. The low overall mileage (≈3,900 mi per year) could mean the car has been lightly used, or it may have spent long stretches idle. Light use generally reduces wear on consumables such as brakes, clutch, and tyres, but prolonged inactivity can allow seals, rubber hoses and suspension bushings to dry out or deteriorate. There is no evidence of a worsening trend – every MOT has been passed without any advisory or failure items. The pattern is therefore stable, with no emerging safety or reliability concerns evident from the MOT data alone. For a buyer, the key things to check in person are: Inspect the condition of the tyres, brakes and suspension components for any signs of ageing or cracking that could have occurred during periods of low use. Verify that all electronic systems (lights, infotainment, driver‑assist features) operate correctly, as intermittent faults often do not show up on an MOT.
