2018 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Diesel · CU18 WSF

This BMW 3 Series presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 77,381 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, indicating the vehicle is currently in a high state of mechanical compliance. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting a disciplined approach to maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,673 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between 28 March 2023 at 47,258 miles and 25 March 2024 at 61,800 miles, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the annual mileage has stabilised, with 2,203 miles added between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. The record shows a failure on 3 March 2025, though the vehicle passed the following day at the same mileage. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass, this suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial rectification. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the history. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOTs often overlook until they become critical. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee these consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained to match the clean MOT record.
