2016 BMW M3 3.0L Petrol · 24 GAV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass recorded on 21 June 2025 at 71,970 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where several defects were identified. While the June 2024 test flagged specific wear items, the lack of advisories or failures in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and consumable requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. The record shows steady progression, with 9,663 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 5,115 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This rate of use suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress, which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components, though low annual mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components if the car sits for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry to ensure previous issues were fully rectified. The 2024 test identified an offside front suspension arm ball joint with slight play and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. A buyer must verify that there is no remaining play in the ball joints and check for uneven tyre wear that might indicate a misaligned suspension. Given the performance nature of the M3, a thorough check of the rubber bushings and brake fluid condition is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains intact despite the low mileage.
