2009 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · DN59 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-23 at 144,162 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, as the prior tests from 2025-02-11 (141,616 miles) and 2024-01-23 (138,294 miles) also passed without issues. A failed test on 2025-02-11 at 141,614 miles is recorded, but no defects were noted, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrelated non-compliance. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in the past three years indicates consistent upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis. The mileage of 144,162 miles aligns with the vehicle’s 17-year age, averaging 8,480 miles annually—a typical rate for this era. The MOT history shows regular testing, with intervals of 12–14 months, reflecting responsible ownership. Notable gaps include a 12-month period between the 2023-01-25 test (134,509 miles) and the 2024-01-23 test (138,294 miles), during which 3,785 miles were added. This suggests steady usage but no evidence of rapid wear or neglect. The 2025-02-11 failed test at 141,614 miles, coinciding with a passed test just two days earlier, raises questions about data accuracy but does not indicate mechanical decline. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older BMWs, and check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter. While no structural rust is flagged in the MOT records, a thorough underbody inspection is advisable. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the lack of detailed defect descriptions means physical verification of critical components remains essential.
