2016 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Petrol · SD16 ABV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025. The most recent September 2025 test at 55,097 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. All prior tests, including the 2024 and 2023 assessments, similarly showed no faults, suggesting the car has been well-maintained over its 10-year lifespan. No advisories or critical failures were noted, which aligns with the low mileage of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The mileage progression shows regular, gradual increases between MOT tests, with no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. From 31,135 miles in 2021 to 55,097 miles in 2025, the car has accumulated 23,962 miles over four years, averaging 5,990 miles annually. This pattern suggests consistent usage rather than prolonged storage, reducing the risk of hidden issues like fluid degradation or battery failure. The absence of gaps in the MOT history further supports a reliable maintenance schedule, though the low mileage may warrant closer inspection of components prone to aging, such as rubber seals or electrical systems. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can degrade over time even with low mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be visually inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as moisture exposure during infrequent use may affect performance. Structural integrity and exhaust system corrosion are also key areas to verify, as older vehicles may develop rust in hidden panels or underbody components. While the MOT records show no issues, these checks will confirm the car’s condition aligns with its maintenance history.
