2003 BMW 325 CI Sport 2.5L Petrol · FRZ 1870

The most recent MOT, dated 27 April 2024, was a clean pass at 150,614 mi. No defects were recorded, and this mirrors the earlier passes in 2022, 2021 and 2019, all of which also showed no faults. The only irregularity is a “failed” entry on 21 October 2022, but it lists no defects, suggesting an administrative error rather than a genuine mechanical problem. Across the six‑year span the mileage has risen from 104,133 mi in mid‑2019 to the current 150,614 mi – an average of about 6,500 mi per year. For a 23‑year‑old BMW this is roughly typical; it does not point to either extreme hard use or long periods of inactivity. Consequently the wear on consumables such as brakes, suspension bushings and drivetrain components should be moderate, but the age of the car means parts will be nearing the end of their design life regardless of mileage. The pattern in the MOT data is essentially flat – no recorded faults and no worsening trend. With the latest test passing and no defects logged, the vehicle appears to be in a stable condition. However, the unexplained 2022 failure should prompt a closer look to ensure nothing was missed. For an in‑person inspection, focus first on: - The condition of the brakes (pads, discs and any rust on the rotors).
