Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough review of the service history to see how the high mileage has been managed, specifically looking for evidence of suspension and brake work. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the immediate replacement of the rear tyres and front brake discs, both of which were flagged as worn in the April 2026 MOT. Ensure all recent repairs, including the shock absorber replacement, are backed by invoices.
Equipped with a 1995cc Euro 6 diesel engine, this vehicle is designed for efficiency and is compliant with most UK low-emission zones. However, the high mileage suggests that maintenance costs will likely increase as major wear-and-tear components reach the end of their lifespan. Typical costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on its CO2 emissions, and mid-range insurance premiums.
Carefully inspect the front shock absorbers for any signs of fluid leaks, as this was a critical failure point in April 2026. Check the tread depth and wear patterns on all tyres, particularly the rear inner edges, which have been flagged as worn close to the legal limit. Additionally, inspect the front brake discs for excessive wear or scoring, as both the nearside and offside front discs were noted as worn in the most recent MOT.
This black 2019 BMW 3 Series diesel has recorded 114,475 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average. The MOT history includes two failures, most recently in April 2026 due to a leaking front shock absorber, and a 2024 failure involving exposed tyre cords. The most recent test passed with advisories regarding worn front brake discs and rear inner tyres.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 80.3%, with tyres, shock absorbers, and drive shaft joints being the most common failure points.
