Our Verdict

The 2017 BMW 335 in black with a 3.0‑litre diesel engine appears to be a solid purchase, given its low mileage and clean MOT record. The only MOT entries flagged as failures recorded no defects, suggesting administrative errors rather than mechanical issues. Buyers should still verify service history and inspect typical wear points before finalising the deal.

When considering this BMW, request a full service history to confirm regular oil changes and any major servicing, especially for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) which can be a costly component on higher‑mileage diesel models. Verify that the vehicle has had any required DPF regeneration or cleaning, as the MOT records do not reveal such details. Negotiate on the price by highlighting the lack of documented service records and the need for a potential DPF inspection, which could affect future running costs.

Watch out for common issues on the 335 series, such as high‑pressure fuel pump wear and electronic throttle body faults. Even though the MOT shows no failures, these problems often surface after higher mileage or after the warranty period. Ensure the buyer obtains a recent diagnostic scan or a pre‑purchase inspection from a qualified BMW specialist to catch any latent electronic or engine management faults.
