2008 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · SP08 UZM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 24 July 2024. The test record shows a stable trend over the last three years, with the most recent inspections resulting in clear passes. While the 2022 and 2023 records include initial failure entries, these were rectified immediately on the same day, suggesting that the vehicle met the required standards for roadworthiness at the point of re-test. With a recorded mileage of 176,245 miles over an 18-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 9,791 miles per year. This accumulation rate is consistent with typical usage patterns for a BMW 3 Series of this era. The MOT history provided is relatively brief, covering only the most recent three-year period, which leaves a significant portion of the vehicle's earlier operational life undocumented in this summary. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframes, as the MOT record does not detail the condition of hidden structural components or potential corrosion typical of a vehicle at this mileage. Given the age and high mileage, focus your examination on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers, as these components often reach the end of their service life on this platform. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns and verify that the parking brake mechanism functions correctly, as these are common areas of wear that may not be fully captured by a standard pass certificate.
