2016 BMW 3 Series 1.5L Petrol · WN66 DNO

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 91,327 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, and the vehicle currently meets all statutory requirements for road use. The mileage pattern remains consistent, averaging approximately 9,133 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a ten-year-old BMW. Between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, the car covered 8,409 miles, while the previous year interval saw a slightly higher increase of 8,183 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally benefits the health of engine seals, fluid components, and braking systems. While the recent pass shows no defects, the recurring failures in October 2023 and 2025 indicate that specific components occasionally require attention before passing the annual test. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking for worn control arm bushes and ball joints, as these are common points of failure on this chassis at this mileage. Additionally, examine the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or binding calipers to ensure that the issues which caused the previous failures have been permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched.
