2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · MW65 ACO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-27 at 107,871 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a failed test on the same date at 107,867 miles also showed no defects. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or unrecorded remedial work. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues flagged across the past four annual tests. The absence of critical defects in the latest assessment indicates the car meets current roadworthiness standards, though the duplicate entry warrants verification with the DVSA. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,871 miles aligns with an average annual usage of ~10,787 miles, consistent with its 10-year age. MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2025-03-10 test at 97,063 miles and subsequent 2024-03-11 test at 87,502 miles confirm a steady, predictable usage pattern. This suggests the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids excessive wear on consumables or structural components. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the recent failed test at 107,867 miles—despite no recorded defects—raises questions about potential unresolved issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of suspension wear, such as worn bushes or coil springs, and check brake components for binding or uneven disc wear. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust system integrity should also be verified, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories in the records is positive, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the car’s condition.
