2004 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Petrol · B2 CYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 21 May 2026 at 110,314 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the owner has addressed significant mechanical failures identified in previous years. While the 2024 and 2025 tests revealed recurring issues with suspension and tyres, the most recent inspection indicates that these specific faults have been rectified, bringing the car to a clean state. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 110,314 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,000 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing only 2,163 miles driven between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 1,794 miles in the final year. However, low mileage on a German vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, which aligns with the wear noted in the suspension history. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the tester flagged corrosion in May 2025. Although it was described as not seriously weakened at that time, structural rust on these chassis tends to progress rapidly if not monitored. The inspection should also verify the front lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages, as these were repeat points of failure in 2024 and 2025. Given the history of worn tyres and suspension wear, checking the current alignment and tyre condition is essential to ensure no underlying geometry issues remain.
