2010 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Diesel · R7 WAH

The 2025-11-01 MOT at 144,477 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without recorded defects, though each year showed repeated failures at the same mileage, suggesting intermittent issues that were rectified before the final pass. At 16 years old and 144,477 miles, the vehicle averages 9,030 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its class. The jump from 129,069 miles in October 2023 to 135,369 miles in October 2024 represents an increase of 6,300 miles in 11 months, exceeding the average annual mileage and indicating intensified use. The subsequent rise to 144,477 miles by November 2025 adds another 9,108 miles in 13 months, again above the norm, yet the consistent pass rate shows effective upkeep. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes and sagging coil springs, and examine the brake assembly for binding calipers, worn discs and pad thickness. Inspect the chassis and body for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and verify the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Given the lack of recorded defects, the car appears mechanically sound, but a thorough visual and functional check of these components is essential before purchase.
