2009 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Diesel · FV09 NNW

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 20 June 2024. This test was conducted at 109,557 miles and recorded no defects or advisories. The overall maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle has passed its last three annual inspections without any documented mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is typical for a 17 year old car, averaging roughly 6,445 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2024, the odometer rose from 97,990 to 109,557 miles. This indicates steady, moderate use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive wear. The records show a clean history with no reported issues during the 2022 and 2023 cycles. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects, as the record lists failures on 14 June 2024 and 6 June 2023 but fails to specify the reasons for those failures. This lack of detail makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical trends. A buyer should specifically check for common BMW 3 Series weaknesses of this era, such as oil leaks from the valve cover gasket and wear in the front suspension bushes. Because the record shows no advisories, the current state of consumables remains unknown. An in-person inspection must prioritise the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs and pads. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for underside corrosion and the integrity of the exhaust system is necessary to ensure no structural degradation has occurred between tests.
