2011 Alpina D3 Biturbo 2.0L Diesel · AD59 MAR

The Alpina D3 Biturbo presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent DVSA test on 5 November 2025 at 128,107 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. A notable anomaly exists in the test log: on 5 November 2025 the car first failed and then passed on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects listed for either outcome, suggesting an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 15-year-old vehicle, with 128,107 miles recorded equating to roughly 8,540 miles per year. The records show measured annual use: 120,645 miles at the 21 November 2023 test, rising to 123,054 miles at the 22 November 2024 failure and 123,059 miles three weeks later at the 5 December 2024 pass, then 128,107 miles by November 2025. No rapid accumulation or extended dormant periods are evident from the data. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with every test either passing or showing a no-defect failure, leaving little basis to infer neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five-year window, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain condition prior to purchase. The Biturbo's age and 128,000-mile count warrant direct checks on binding calipers, subframe rust, and turbo oil feed lines that MOT testers may not itemise when no fault is found. The same-day fail-pass on 5 November 2025 should be clarified with the DVLA to confirm the vehicle was not subject to a withdrawn certificate.
