2010 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · RO60 OTU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 123,252 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent results since 2022, suggesting the previous owner addressed initial issues and has since maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably steady for a sixteen-year-old BMW, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between August 2023 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 14,148 miles, showing a regular usage cycle that prevents the common issues associated with long periods ofກັບ, such as seized calipers or internal corrosion. The gap between the September 2022 failure and its successful pass was only two days, indicating that the fault was identified and repaired immediately to ensure the subsequent test. Despite the recent clean advisory history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points typical for this generation of 3 series. At 123,000 miles, the suspension control arm bushes and rubber components are likely nearing the end of their functional life regardless of the MOT pass. Check for signs of corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT tester does not flag surface rust until it becomes structurally significant. The lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests suggests the vehicle is well-kept, but a manual inspection of brake pipe condition and oil leaks remains essential at this mileage.
