2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · AP65 KWF

The vehicle's most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 212,772 miles passed without defects, indicating that the current maintenance trend is stable. However, the history shows recurring issues with brake pads and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, suggesting that these components may require closer attention. The September 2024 test at 185,645 miles also passed, but the preceding test at 185,630 miles failed due to tyre tread depth issues, highlighting a pattern of neglecting basic upkeep. The September 2023 test at 164,952 miles also passed, but the preceding test at 164,911 miles failed due to thin brake pads and dirty anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, indicating ongoing mechanical concerns. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually high for its age, with approximately 21,277 miles per year over the past decade. This suggests either heavy use or a lack of regular maintenance. The most recent test in September 2025 at 212,772 miles shows a significant increase from the September 2024 test at 185,645 miles, indicating a rapid mileage accumulation. The gap between the September 2024 and September 2023 tests is also notable, with the vehicle covering 20,693 miles in just over a year, suggesting a period of intensive use or infrequent maintenance. A potential buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly, particularly the front inner brake pads and calipers, given the recurring issues with thin brake pads. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joints should also be examined for dirt ingress, as this can lead to premature wear and potential suspension problems. Additionally, the vehicle's tyres should be checked for even wear and tread depth, as the history shows a pattern of neglecting basic upkeep. The suspension components, including the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, may require inspection for signs of wear or damage. Finally, the vehicle's overall structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, especially in areas prone to moisture ingress.
