2009 BMW 3 Series 2.5L Petrol · RE59 AEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 December 2025 at 131,422 miles. This test was clean, recording no defects or advisories. While the record shows failures on 30 December 2025 and 27 December 2024, the lack of specific defect data for these failures suggests they may have been administrative or resolved immediately through minor adjustments. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,731 miles per year. The odometer rose from 118,125 miles on 9 January 2024 to 131,422 miles by 31 December 2025. This indicates a steady usage pattern of approximately 13,297 miles over two years, suggesting the car has not suffered from long periods of standing which often lead to seized calipers or perished seals. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 17 year old BMW 3 Series. There are no mentions of common age-related failures such as suspension bush wear, coil spring fractures, or exhaust emissions issues. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three tests is atypical for a vehicle of this vintage and mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the underside for structural corrosion and inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear. Given the lack of reported faults, verify the service history to ensure oil changes and coolant flushes have occurred, as the MOT record alone does not confirm the health of the engine or drivetrain.
