2013 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Diesel · KB02 ALB

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a positive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 95,467 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. While the car suffered a failure in late 2024, the immediate retest success without recorded defects suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying safety-critical faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 70,077 miles and October 2025 at 95,467 miles, the car covered roughly 25,400 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. The time intervals between tests are regular, suggesting the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity which often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based components and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly to ensure the repair to the nearside rear shock absorber flagged at 86,500 miles was thorough. Given the age of the BMW, it is essential to check for signs of weeping on the remaining dampers and worn control arm bushings, which are common at this mileage bracket. The clean records over the last two years suggest no immediate structural corrosion, but a visual check of the underbody for surface rust on mounting bolting remains standard practice for a vehicle of this era.
