2009 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · DN59 ACJ

The vehicle presents a current roadworthiness status that is passed, with the most recent test on 10 March 2022 at 172,409 miles recording no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied record appears stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults and no worsening condition. Two earlier failures on 2 March 2022 at 172,407 miles and 28 January 2020 at 162,188 miles were logged without any defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical rejection. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2009 vehicle, averaging roughly 10,142 miles per year against the 172,409 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 162,215 miles on 30 January 2020 to 165,165 miles on 19 March 2021, then jumped to 172,407 by the March 2022 retest, reflecting ordinary annual use with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse and clean beyond the two zero-defect failures, offering little insight into consumable wear or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and mileage, as the MOT record omits advisories that often surface on high-mileage BMWs of this era. Structural corrosion around subframes and sills warrants physical checks, since the tests recorded no corrosion findings but visual MOT limits can miss early decay. The repeated zero-defect failures suggest previous owners attended tests promptly and corrected minor non-mechanical matters, yet the absence of advisories across 162,000 to 172,000 miles implies either meticulous upkeep or superficial test scrutiny. Verify service history and tyre, exhaust and emissions condition in person before purchase.
