2018 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Diesel · WF68 OKH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 July 2025 at 56,229 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor mechanical issues, suggesting that previous maintenance interventions have successfully addressed earlier faults. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,000 miles per year, moving from 33,943 miles in September 2021 to 56,229 miles in July 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, and the steady progression of mileage suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The historical data highlights recurring issues with the braking system. In September 2021, the tester flagged pitted or scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles, a condition that reappeared in the October 2023 test at 53,044 miles affecting all four discs. While the 2025 test shows no current issues, a buyer should inspect the current thickness and surface condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure the most recent replacements have been maintained. A physical inspection should also address the nearside front road wheel, which was recorded as slightly distorted during the failed test in September 2021. Although no wheel defects have been noted since, the distortion could indicate past impact damage. Checking for any subsequent vibration through the steering or suspension components would be a prudent step to ensure no long-term structural or alignment issues remain.
