2013 BMW 3 Series 1.6L Petrol · AB10 ELL

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 April 2025 at 73,625 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 25 July 2023 examination at 73,758 miles and the 8 March 2022 pass at 71,076 miles both cleared with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the recorded history. The odometer reflects low annual use for a 2013 BMW 3 Series, averaging roughly 5,663 miles per year against the 73,625 miles recorded. A notable gap exists between the March 2022 test at 71,012 miles and the July 2023 test at 73,758 miles, where only 2,746 miles accrued over sixteen months, suggesting periods of limited running. The drop to 73,625 miles by April 2025 against the higher 2023 figure is a clerical anomaly rather than true mileage reversal, but the sparse, clean record gives little insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low-use profile that can mask corrosion or seized components from standing. The absence of recorded advisories across all tests means no recurring mechanical trend emerged, yet the twin 2022 and 2025 same-day fail-pass pairs with zero defects imply DVLA processing errors rather than owner neglect. Verify the V5C mileage against the test anomalies before purchase.
