2016 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Petrol · SH66 CTY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 January 2026 at 115,274 miles. This result yielded no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and emissions standards. The trend of clean passes over the last three years suggests that the current owner is addressing any emerging issues before they result in a test failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual-use figures, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over its decade-long life. A significant period of activity occurred between January 2024 (86,533 miles) and March 2025 (110,467 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 24,000 miles in just fourteen months. Despite this period of heavy use, the vehicle maintained a clean record in the March 2025 test, suggesting the drivetrain and primary components are handling the high-mileage demands without immediate mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and alignment geometry. The November 2021 test at 54,419 miles flagged both front tyres as being worn on the edges, which typically indicates incorrect camber alignment or worn control arm bushes. Given the vehicle has since travelled over 60,000 miles, a buyer should check for continued play in the steering components or uneven wear on the current tyre set. The windscreen chip noted in January 2024 should also be verified to ensure it has not propagated into the driver's line of vision due to road stress or temperature changes.
