2007 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · LJ07 CVY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 130,384 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just one week prior on 16 May 2025 at 130,357 miles which also listed no defects, suggesting an administrative error or a minor issue was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,862 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered 7,706 miles, while the interval between June 2023 and July 2024 saw 7,697 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of stationary time, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like rubber seals and brake assemblies, though it also means standard age-related wear expected on a BMW of this era. While the record is clean of recurring advisories or structural failures, an in-person inspection must focus on common failure points for the E90 generation. A buyer should verify the condition of the front control arm bushes and tension strikers as these often degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT passes. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for corrosion on the subframe and ensuring there are no active fluid leaks is essential, as the MOT does not test for minor weeping leaks unless they drip onto the ground.
