2009 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · PX59 XFD

This 2009 BMW 3 Series shows a very clean MOT history, particularly over the last two years, where it passed with no recorded defects. The vehicle has covered only 66,425 miles in 17 years, averaging under 4,000 miles per annum. This low mileage suggests the car has spent significant periods standing idle rather than being driven regularly, which can sometimes lead to issues with seized components or perished rubber seals. The mechanical trend appears to be improving. While the 2023 test highlighted several maintenance items—specifically rear brake wear, binding brakes, and tyre edge wear—these were absent in the 2024 and 2025 inspections. This indicates that the previous owner likely addressed these consumables, resulting in a stable and reliable recent history. The lack of recurring advisories suggests the car has been maintained well enough to pass its most recent tests without issue. Because the car has been driven sparingly, you should be cautious about potential issues related to prolonged storage. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized brake calipers, degraded brake fluid, and perished suspension bushes that may not always show up on a standard MOT. The previous note regarding binding brakes in 2023 is a specific reminder to check that the car rolls freely and does not pull to one side under braking.
