Our Verdict

This 2016 BMW 2 Series is an exceptional find with a spotless recent MOT history and remarkably low mileage. It represents a fantastic opportunity for a buyer seeking a powerful 3.0L petrol performance car in a striking red finish without the usual hidden MOT surprises.

When inspecting this 2016 2 Series, verify the service history to ensure the high-output 3.0-litre petrol engine has received regular oil changes and spark plug replacements in line with BMW's schedule. Given the clean MOT record, check that the consumable items like tyres and brakes match the vehicle's low mileage and have plenty of life left. Negotiate based on any minor cosmetic imperfections, but expect a firm price given the rarity of such a pristine MOT history.

Running a 2998.0cc petrol BMW 2 Series involves higher fuel consumption and road tax costs compared to smaller diesel or entry-level petrol variants, particularly when enjoying the performance of the straight-six engine. Insurance groups for this engine size sit towards the higher end, so ensure you have secured competitive quotes prior to purchase. Routine maintenance should remain straightforward provided servicing is kept up to date.

While the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 is completely clear of defects, common model weak points to check during a physical inspection include the condition of the tyres, headlamp units, and shock absorbers, which rank as the top MOT failure reasons across the 2-Series range. Inspect the alloy wheels for curbing and check the front suspension components for any signs of wear. Additionally, verify that all electrical systems and the convertible top (if applicable) operate seamlessly.

First registered in November 2016, this red BMW 2 Series features a punchy 2998.0cc petrol engine and has covered just 49,559 miles by its July 2025 MOT. Its MOT track record is exemplary, showing five consecutive passes with zero advisories or failures recorded since 2022. This impressive cleanliness reflects careful stewardship and minimal mechanical stress compared to the wider model average.

The BMW 2 Series performs strongly in aggregate MOT data with an 89.7% average pass rate, though buyers should remain vigilant regarding tyres, headlamps, and shock absorbers.
