2013 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Diesel · FL13 LEJ

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 10 October 2025 at 164,723 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with every annual test resulting in a clean pass once a same-day failure was administratively resolved. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the record, indicating no escalating wear pattern or recurring defect flagged by testers. The recorded mileage sits at 164,723 against a 2013 registration, averaging roughly 12,671 miles per year, which is high for the model age and implies sustained motorway or commuter use rather than prolonged standing. Between the October 2023 pass at 141,168 miles and the October 2024 pass at 153,603 miles the car covered 12,435 miles; by October 2025 it added a further 11,120 miles. The accumulation is consistent year on year with no sudden gaps or dormant periods. The DVSA data shows two failed tests on 3 October 2024 at 153,600 miles and 10 October 2025 at 164,720 miles, yet both list no defects and were followed immediately by passes at near-identical mileages. This pattern suggests administrative or documentation failures at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, not owner neglect of consumables or structure. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion were ever cited. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and suspension components given the high mileage, despite the clean MOT trail. Verify the brake calipers and exhaust emissions in person, and confirm the twin failure-then-pass entries were clerical by reviewing the full DVSA test certificates before purchase.
