2012 BMW 320D Sport 2.0L Diesel · PM09 CAT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 12 August 2025 at 120,972 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in June 2024 at 116,898 miles, the subsequent pass a month later suggests that any identified issues were addressed immediately by the previous owner. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2023, the car covered 15,835 miles, representing a period of higher usage compared to the 14,778 miles recorded in the following year up to the June 2024 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing internal corrosion in a diesel engine. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as the record does not show recurring advisories for bushes or binding calipers. Given the 120,972-mile mark, it is vital to inspect the control arm bushings and shock absorbers for wear, which are common failure points on this chassis. The lack of structural corrosion warnings in the history is a positive sign, but a manual check of the underbody and exhaust mounting for any rust remains necessary for a vehicle of this age.
