Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to exceptionall
Prioritise a thorough review of the service history to ensure that maintenance intervals were shortened to accommodate the high mileage. Specifically, check for evidence that the shock absorber oil misting and brake pad wear noted in March 2023 were addressed.
Given that this vehicle has covered nearly 138,000 miles in seven years, you should negotiate the price based on the significant depreciation associated with high mileage compared to other 2019 models. Ensure all receipts for the recent tyre replacements are available to confirm the safety of the current set.
As a 1998cc petrol engine, fuel costs will be moderate, though the high mileage suggests a vehicle likely used for long-distance commuting. Insurance and road tax will be standard for this engine size and registration year.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a 2019 vehicle. With the odometer approaching 140,000 miles, expect increased expenditure on suspension components and braking systems to maintain safety and performance.
Carefully inspect the tyres, particularly the rear pair, to ensure the structural bulge and wear that caused the March 2026 failure have been fully resolved with quality replacements. Check the front shock absorbers for any signs of leaking oil, as this was a recorded advisory in 2023 and is a known common failure point for this model.
Additionally, inspect the drive shaft joints for any play or noise, as these are listed as a top failure reason in aggregate data for this model. A professional pre-purchase inspection is recommended to assess the state of the engine and transmission given the high mileage.
This blue 2019 BMW 3 Series (1998cc petrol) has recorded 137,998 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average of 7,248 miles per year. The MOT history shows a failure in March 2026 regarding tyre wear and a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre, though this was rectified for a subsequent pass. A 2023 test noted advisories for oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and thin rear brake pads.
The BMW 3 Series has an average MOT pass rate of 80.2%, with tyres, shock absorbers, and drive shaft joints being the most frequent causes of failure.
