2011 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · RO61 FZK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in May 2026 at 139,230 miles which returned no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement over the October 2023 test where the tester flagged a worn rear tyre. The transition to a clean record across the last three consecutive tests suggests the current owner is addressing identified maintenance requirements and is maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. There was a notable period of increased usage between October 2024 and May 2025, where the car covered over 7,500 miles in just seven months. However, usage has moderated to a more typical 12,000 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This regularity suggests the car is being used consistently, which is generally beneficial for preventing seal failures and brake component issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the 2023 advisory for worn rear tyres on the edge often indicates alignment issues or worn control arm bushings. While the most recent tests are clean, the age and mileage of this BMW necessitate a close look for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the shock absorbers and checking for any fluid leaks is also essential, as the MOT only tests for visible or seeping failures of these components under specific operating conditions.
