2019 BMW 3 Series 2.0L Diesel · YA19 AFZ

The 2026‑05‑13 MOT at 83,632 miles passed with no defects recorded, showing a stable maintenance trend after the 2025‑05‑08 test, which also reported no faults. The mileage record demonstrates consistent use: 33,206 miles in May 2022, increasing to 45,253 by April 2023, 57,126 by May 2024, 61,945 by May 2025 and 83,632 by May 2026, a pattern typical for a seven‑year‑old vehicle rather than long periods of standing. Recurring issues centre on the near‑side and off‑side rear tyres, which displayed edge wear at 45,253 miles, and the front headlamp aim being set too high on the same occasion; these suggest possible suspension wear, mis‑adjusted steering geometry or neglected tyre maintenance, and the earlier failure indicated that the tester flagged binding rear brakes and structural rust on the sills. A buyer should therefore inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, verify brake disc and caliper operation, check the structural integrity of the sills and body panels for rust, and confirm that the headlamp alignment meets legal specifications before finalising the purchase.
