2009 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Petrol · VN58 LSZ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 131,567 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in roadworthy condition without the common recurring failures seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,739 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between June 2023 at 105,799 miles and June 2024 at 116,559 miles, where the car covered nearly 11,000 miles in a single year. Despite this period of heavier use, the vehicle continued to pass its tests without any flagged advisories or failures. The total absence of advisories over the last five years is unusual for a 17 year old BMW 3 Series. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as surface rust does not always trigger an MOT failure unless it compromises structural integrity. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of the test outcomes. Verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage increases. The lack of recorded brake or tyre advisories suggests a proactive owner, but a physical check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is necessary to confirm that consumables are not currently nearing their wear limits.
