2013 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · SE03 LEY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the provided MOT history. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 141,901 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of consistent maintenance, as the car has passed every annual inspection since its recorded history began in 2016. The absence of defects in the latest test suggests that previous minor issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a good state of compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 13-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 10,915 miles per year, showing steady progression from 52,767 miles in September 2016 to the current 141,901 miles. There are no signs of erratic driving habits or long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding age-related degradation from standing still. The annual increments remain relatively even, indicating regular, predictable use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The 28 August 2024 test at 131,885 miles flagged front brake pads wearing thin, though this was resolved by the subsequent pass in 2025. Similarly, the 21 August 2019 test at 80,927 miles noted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. While these are minor consumable wear items, they indicate that the vehicle is being driven through its service intervals. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension components and drivetrain is advisable. Although the MOT record shows no historical failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the cumulative mileage of over 140,000 miles increases the likelihood of wear in these areas. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive play in the steering and suspension will complement the clean MOT history.
