2011 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · LP11 PKV

The 2026-01-07 test at 104,246 miles is the most recent recorded MOT, indicating that the vehicle has been inspected within the last year, placing the test date significantly prior to the current date. This establishes that the vehicle's maintenance history is relatively recent, with the most recent assessment occurring exactly one year ago. The overall roadworthiness status is currently poor, as the most recent test failed to meet safety standards, specifically regarding the parking brake efficiency and the brake system requiring adjustment. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the most recent test and the current date, with the vehicle having accumulated approximately 6,950 miles per year since the last inspection. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests that the owner has not been maintaining the vehicle at a level of care, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or a change in driving habits. The data indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to high mileage without corresponding maintenance, which contributes to the reduced roadworthiness and the recurring faults listed in the MOT records. The recurring faults identified in the MOT history suggest a structural or mechanical condition that requires immediate inspection. The most critical issues include the brake system requiring adjustment, a serious fluid leak in the nearside shock absorbers, and multiple corroded coil springs in the rear suspension. These components indicate that the vehicle has experienced significant wear and potential failure points, making it a risk for further damage during normal driving. The buyer must inspect the suspension and brakes in person to assess the condition of these critical components and determine if they require repair before proceeding with the purchase.
