2004 BMW M3 3.2L Petrol · M3 BDN

The 2004 BMW M3 remains roadworthy, as the August 15 2025 MOT at 97,398 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The consistent pass rate across all five annual tests indicates a stable maintenance trend with no worsening or improving issues. The mileage has risen steadily from 94,094 miles in August 2021 to 97,398 miles in August 2025, an average increase of roughly 1,000 miles per year, which is modest for a 22‑year‑old vehicle and suggests light usage or periods of standing. No significant gaps appear in the record, and each test was conducted at similar mileage intervals. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, verify that the rear brake discs and calipers are not binding, examine the structural integrity for rust on the chassis and sills, and check the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks; while the MOT history shows no recurring faults, these components are prone to wear on high‑age, low‑mileage cars and merit close visual and functional assessment.
