Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
Given the low mileage of this specific vehicle, you should verify if the service history reflects this usage. While the MOT records show the car has been used, the low mileage suggests it may have been used for shorter journeys, so check for any signs of battery health or tyre age/flat spots.
When negotiating, use the 2024 MOT failure regarding tyre wear and the 2026 advisory regarding the nearside headlamp lens as points of discussion. Ensure that any tyre-related issues noted in previous tests have been fully addressed with high-quality replacements, as the model aggregate data suggests tyres are a common failure point for this series.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy is typically efficient for this class of executive saloon, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Insurance groups for a 2016 BMW 320 vary depending on the specific trim and driver profile, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs should be planned around the model's common failure points, such as suspension components and tyres, as identified in the aggregate data of 42,983 analysed vehicles.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension. The 2024 MOT failure specifically highlighted a cut in the offside rear tyre and edge wear on the nearside front, so check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres.
Also, inspect the nearside headlamp; the 2026 MOT record noted a product on the lens. Ensure this hasn't led to any clouding or degradation of the plastic. Finally, given that shock absorbers and suspension arms are top failure reasons for this model aggregate, perform a test drive to listen for any knocks or unevenness in the handling.
This 2016 blue BMW 320 has covered 36,365 miles as of February 2026, which is significantly lower than the model average of 8,952 miles per year. The MOT history shows four recorded tests, with one failure in 2024 related to tyres and a windscreen. Recent records indicate the vehicle has passed its most recent inspections with only minor advisories.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 89% MOT pass rate, with common issues involving tyres, shock absorbers, and suspension arms.
