2014 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · OO12 JAD

The most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 recorded a pass at 82,512 miles, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The alternating fail‑pass pattern in early 2026 and early 2025 shows no recurring defect, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Across a twelve‑year lifespan the car has accumulated 82,512 miles, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. The mileage rose from 70,954 miles at the March 2024 test to 76,088 miles at the April 2025 failure, then to 82,383 miles at the March 2026 failure and finally to 82,512 miles at the April 2026 pass. These increments of 5,000‑6,500 miles per year are consistent with typical usage and reveal no periods of unusually rapid accumulation or long dormant intervals. Although the MOT records list no specific advisories, a prospective buyer should still examine wear items that are not captured by the test. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify that brake discs and pads show even wear and no scoring, and check suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and undercarriage, will confirm that no hidden structural issues have developed despite the clean MOT history.
