2007 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · LS07 AUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 2025-06-19, where it passed with minor defects related to tyre condition. The maintenance trend shows a slight improvement in recent years, with the last two MOTs being successful after a prior failure in 2022. However, the recurring brake disc issues from 2022 onwards suggest a persistent concern with braking components, which may indicate underlying wear or neglect in brake system upkeep. The recorded mileage of 104,205 miles over 19 years equates to an average of approximately 5,484 miles per year, which is relatively low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has likely been driven gently or stored for periods, reducing overall mechanical wear. The MOT history is sparse prior to 2021, with only one test recorded before that date, but the data available shows a consistent pattern of brake and tyre-related issues emerging in the last three years, particularly from 2022 onward. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, including calipers, pads, and rotors, as the repeated findings of worn and pitted front brake discs may point to uneven wear or poor maintenance. The tyre condition, especially the inner sidewall cracking noted in the latest test, warrants close examination for structural integrity and potential replacement. Additionally, the suspension components should be checked for wear, particularly given the age and mileage, and the body structure should be inspected for signs of corrosion, which is common in older BMWs.
