2004 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Petrol · KA04 WYZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2023 at 93,775 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory requirements at that time. While a failure was noted in December 2022, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults quickly. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,262 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact use, with only 88 miles recorded between September 2020 and September 2021, and roughly 2,290 miles between September 2021 and December 2022. This low annual mileage suggests the car has been used for short trips or stored, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can increase the risk of age-related degradation in parts that do not benefit from regular mechanical exercise. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and rubber suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often hide corrosion in rubber bushes and perished seals due to age rather than use. Given the age of the BMW, checking the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for seizing is essential, as stationary vehicles are prone to this. Inspect the undercarriage for structural rust or cracks in the control arms, as these components degrade over time despite the low recorded mileage.
