2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · AJ65 FSG

The 2016 BMW 3 Series presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The January 2026 test at 94,040 miles passed clean, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2022. The maintenance trend is steady, with no advisories or failures logged in the official DVSA history provided. Annual mileage averages roughly 9,400 miles, consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show smooth yearly increments: 57,012 miles in January 2022, 64,941 in January 2023, 75,017 in January 2024, 84,916 in January 2025, and 94,040 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without lapses. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car has crossed 90,000 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet test passes with zero advisories do not confirm component condition beneath wear thresholds. Pre-purchase checks ought to cover underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware, as ten years of age invites hidden rust on sills and subframes. The absence of recorded faults implies reasonable care, but only a ramp inspection will verify the drivetrain and consumable items like tyres and wiper blades ahead of the next test cycle.
