2010 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Petrol · RO10 RBY

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 29 October 2025 at 107,872 miles resulting in a pass with zero defects. This record indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has cleared four consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory or failure recorded since October 2022. Such a consistent history suggests the owner has adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, addressing potential wear before it reaches the threshold of a formal test failure. At 107,872 miles over a 16-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 6,742 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected range for a BMW 3 Series of this vintage. The mileage accumulation has been remarkably light and consistent in recent years, with only 3,202 miles added between the October 2022 and October 2025 tests. This low-intensity usage pattern implies the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy stress of high-mileage motorway commuting, though it does warrant a check for signs of long-term standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often degrade on E90-generation chassis regardless of low mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for hidden corrosion on the subframes and fuel lines, which may not always be captured in a standard test. Inspect the brake discs for surface oxidation caused by infrequent use and verify that the engine cooling system shows no signs of coolant leaks, as these are common failure points for this specific powertrain that may not have surfaced during recent annual inspections.
