2012 BMW 318D SE Auto 2.0L Diesel · M9 KFM

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 December 2025 at 101,608 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring failures typically seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for a 14 year old vehicle. Between 22 September 2021 at 52,531 miles and 14 December 2025 at 101,608 miles, the car covered 49,077 miles over approximately four years. This averages to roughly 12,000 miles per year in the recent period, which is higher than the overall lifetime average of 7,258 miles per year but suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand. The complete absence of advisories over five consecutive tests is rare for a BMW of this age. The record shows no history of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. While the DVSA data is clean, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of the automatic transmission fluid and the timing chain, as these critical drivetrain components are not specifically checked during a standard MOT. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that may be nearing the end of their life cycle due to the recent increase in annual mileage. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads. Given the age of the vehicle, a visual check for underbody corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points is recommended to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean test history.
