2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · RE16 YMW

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a fluctuating pattern of compliance. While the most recent test on 30 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects, this followed a failure on 29 October 2025. Although the specific reasons for that failure were not recorded in the provided data, the immediate pass suggests a rectification of a non-compliant issue. The preceding tests in September 2024 and July 2023 both passed without defects, indicating a period of stability before the recent failure. The recorded mileage of 138,207 miles for a 2016 model indicates high usage, averaging approximately 13,821 miles per year. This level of annual mileage suggests consistent road use rather than long periods of stationary storage. There is a notable gap in the recorded history between the August 2021 test and the July 2023 test, which may reflect a period where the vehicle was not tested or the records are incomplete. A physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear under high-mileage conditions. Given the recent failure and subsequent pass, a buyer should verify the condition of braking components, including brake discs and pads, to ensure no binding or uneven wear exists. High mileage also increases the likelihood of wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks or exhaust system corrosion is also advisable to ensure the vehicle's current status remains consistent with the clean 2025 pass. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.
