2012 BMW 135 3.0L Petrol · OL11 ADA

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The May 2025 test at 71,460 miles passed without any defects or advisories, continuing a trend of clean certificates seen in May 2024 and January 2023. This suggests the car is currently in good mechanical order and has been kept up to date with basic requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 5,104 miles per year. The accumulation has been consistent, moving from 17,983 miles in June 2015 to 71,460 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or significant periods of abandonment, though the low annual usage can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or stagnant fluids. Historical data reveals a recurring pattern of tyre wear and windscreen damage. In May 2017 at 36,162 miles, the tester flagged uneven wear on both front tyres and the nearside rear. This trend reappeared in March 2021 at 61,555 miles, where both front tyres were again worn close to the legal limit on the edges. Such repetition often points to suspension alignment issues or a lack of regular tyre rotation. A buyer should specifically inspect the current tyre tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns to determine if a four-wheel alignment is required. While the record is free of structural corrosion or brake failures, the windscreen chips noted between 2018 and 2020 should be checked for any lasting cracks. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake discs for surface corrosion is advised to ensure the car has not suffered from underuse.
