2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · CV16 AOG

The 2016 BMW 3 Series presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 90,686 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the previous four years. Annual mileage sits close to the typical 9,000-mile average for a ten-year-old car, though the record shows an irregular accumulation pattern. The vehicle covered only 3,344 miles between the March 2023 test at 61,297 miles and March 2024 at 64,641 miles, then jumped to 69,182 miles by March 2022 at the prior entry, before a larger 17,470-mile increase to 73,216 miles in March 2025 and a further 17,470 miles to the 2026 figure. No test gaps exist; every March examination passed with zero advisories. With no advisories or failures logged across the full history, the DVSA data shows no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns requiring flagging from prior tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as a clean MOT does not measure intermediate wear between annual tests. The absent advisory history suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. Given the low defect count and consistent pass record, the mechanical risk profile remains low for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
