2004 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Petrol · N88 YAH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend over the last several years. Following the most recent inspection in April 2026 at 124,856 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean tests since 2022, indicating that the mechanical and safety components are currently being maintained to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of 22 years' age, averaging approximately 5,675 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage recorded between November 2020 (121,768 miles) and February 2022 (124,050 miles), during which the car covered only roughly 2,300 miles. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake-related issues due to corrosion. While the recent records are clean, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody structure. The November 2020 test identified a corroded offside rear artwork spring, and although the vehicle has passed since then, the age of the chassis makes it susceptible to structural rust in the mounting points and sills. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should specifically check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber hoses, which are common symptoms in vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
