Our Verdict
A recommended purchase provided the curr
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise the suspension and tyre replacement. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre issues, including perishing in 2024 and low tread on both rear tyres as of March 2026. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new rear tyres to ensure legal and safe operation.
Additionally, request a detailed service history to see if the shock absorber issues noted in 2022 and 2026 have been addressed. Ensure that the 3.0L diesel engine has had regular oil changes, as this is critical for the long-term health of this specific engine variant.
As a 2993cc diesel, this BMW will sit in a higher vehicle excise duty (VED) bracket compared to smaller engines. Insurance costs will also be reflective of the 335's performance profile and insurance group. Fuel economy is typically strong for motorway cruising, though urban driving will increase costs.
Maintenance for this model often involves premium parts and specialised labour. Given the model aggregate data, expect periodic costs for tyres and shock absorbers. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,800-£2,400.
Focus your inspection on the shock absorbers; the MOT history specifically notes oil misting on the nearside rear in 2022 and the nearside front in 2026. This suggests a gradual wear pattern that may require replacement soon. Check for any leaks or instability during a test drive.
Carefully measure the tread depth of the rear tyres. The March 2026 test recorded the nearside rear at 2.8mm and the offside rear at 2.2mm, both of which are close to the legal limit of 1.6mm. Finally, ensure all interior components are clear and the seatbelts are fully functional, as previous tests were obstructed by child seats.
This 2017 grey BMW 335 diesel has recorded five MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. With 88,034 miles on the clock, its usage aligns closely with the model average. While the record is clean of failures, there are recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and shock absorber misting.
This model has a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.3%, with the most common issues being tyres and shock absorbers.
