Our Verdict
A viable option for those seeking a dies
Prospective buyers should focus on the chassis and consumables. The February 2025 MOT recorded oil misting on both the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers; you should confirm whether these components were replaced or if they are still leaking, as this is a clear indicator of seal failure.
Check the service records specifically for oil and filter intervals, as the 1995cc diesel engine relies on strict maintenance to maintain efficiency. Negotiate the price if the tyres are nearing the legal limit, given the vehicle's history of frequent tyre-related MOT advisories and failures.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, which helps offset the higher initial purchase price. Tax will be based on the 2018 CO2 emissions bracket, and insurance groups for the 320 are typically mid-range for executive cars.
Maintenance costs will be standard for a premium German brand, with a focus on brake wear and tyre replacement. Given the mileage, budget for upcoming major service items to keep the vehicle in optimal running order.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension; look for visible oil leaks on the shock absorbers, as this was a specific failure point in 2025. Examine all four tyres for tread depth and signs of uneven wear, as the MOT history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit.
Additionally, verify that the engine management light is operational during the start-up sequence, as aggregate data shows this is a common failure point for this model. Check the tyre currently on the offside front for any evidence of a recent puncture repair following the nail recorded in March 2026.
This 2018 white BMW 320 diesel has recorded 80,049 miles, placing it slightly above the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history is mostly positive, though it includes a failure in February 2025 caused by worn tyres and oil misting on the rear shock absorbers. The most recent test in March 2026 was successful, despite a noted nail in one tyre.
The BMW 320 maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.9%, with the most common failures being tyre wear and inoperative engine management lights.
