2016 BMW M135 3.0L Petrol · BU16 EBO

The 2025‑02‑12 MOT at 64,977 miles confirms the 2016 BMW M135 remains roadworthy, with the vehicle passing all prescribed tests despite a noted front brake disc wear that falls short of excessive. The earlier failure on 2022‑05‑11 for rear brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick was followed by three consecutive passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening trend. The recorded mileage climbs from 43,917 miles in May 2022 to 64,977 miles by February 2025, an average of roughly 5,700 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s ten‑year age and suggests regular, moderate use rather than sporadic standing periods or aggressive high‑mileage operation. The interval between the 2022 failure and the 2023 pass covers about nine months and 6,094 miles, a pace consistent with typical annual usage. A buyer should therefore focus on the rear brake assembly, verifying pad thickness and caliper operation, and inspect the front brake disc for the wear indicated in the latest test; suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of binding calipers merit close examination, as do structural areas such as the sills, wheel arches and chassis for corrosion that could compromise integrity. Tyre tread depth, wiper condition and exhaust integrity are also advisable checks, given the documented consumable wear and the need to confirm that the previously flagged rear brake deficiency has been fully remedied.
