2017 BMW 335 3.0L Diesel · YE17 ACV

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status based on the most recent MOT test on 3 December 2025, roughly seven months before the current date of 14 July 2026, which issued a pass at 78,826 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable and clean, showing no mechanical advisories or escalating faults. Prior to that, the December 2024 tests and the December 2023 pass also logged zero defects, indicating consistent compliance with statutory standards. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2017 plate. The record shows 54,236 miles at the 5 December 2023 test, rising to 68,327 miles by 21 November 2024, then 68,783 miles on 2 and 3 December 2024, and finally 78,826 miles at the latest test. That equates to roughly 8,700 miles per annum, a modest figure for a nine-year-old saloon. The cluster of tests in late 2024 shows two failures on 21 November and 2 December at near-identical mileages with no defects listed, followed by a pass the next day; this pattern points to administrative rejections or documentation issues rather than deferred mechanical upkeep. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension, braking, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion, the previous owners appear to have maintained the car to test standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers for binding, as these components can degrade without triggering MOT faults at the time of testing. Verify structural integrity underneath for any hidden rust, and confirm the mileage is genuine against service records. The clean MOT ledger offers reassurance, but the anomalous December 2024 failures warrant a check of the vehicle's paperwork to ensure no omitted defect categories. Physical examination of tyre condition and wiper blades remains sensible, though the tests logged no consumable wear items. Overall, the BMW shows a trustworthy record with no worsening trend.
