Our Verdict
This 2021 BMW 320 offers good value with a mostly clean MOT history, but the recent headlamp aim failure requires inspection. A cautious purchase with potential for low long-term costs.
Prioritise checking the headlamp adjustment and ensuring the repair was properly executed. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as BMWs can develop electrical issues. Negotiate slightly due to the MOT failure, but the low mileage and petrol engine make it a practical choice for a used premium car.
The 2.0L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (approx. 35-40 mpg), placing it in Band 12 for road tax (£155/yr). Insurance groups for BMW 3 Series typically range 15-20, costing £1,000-£1,500 annually. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) averages £300-£500/year. Total estimated annual running cost: £1,500-£2,000.
Focus on the headlamp aim adjustment and check for any recurring issues with the lighting system. Inspect the engine bay for fluid leaks and review service records for scheduled maintenance. Check suspension components and steering for wear, common areas for BMW 3 Series models. Verify that the 2025 MOT failure was fully resolved.
The vehicle has a clean MOT history aside from a minor headlamp aim failure in 2025. At 28,109 miles (5.6k annual average for its age), the mileage is reasonable. No model-specific reliability issues noted, but the single MOT failure warrants attention.
No aggregate MOT data available for BMW 320, but the 3 Series range is generally reliable when properly maintained.
