2007 BMW 3 Series 3.0L Petrol · YC57 FSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record since a single historical failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 November 2025 at 125,916 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a three-year trend of clean passes without advisories, suggesting that the current owner is addressing any necessary maintenance to keep the vehicle in presenting condition. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing data between August 2021 and June 2024, during which the car covered only 4,351 miles. Since the 2024 test, the mileage has increased by 6,543 miles over the last thirteen months. This low-rated annual usage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT records are currently clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for the E90 E46 era. The failure in August 2020 at 110,036 miles suggests a mechanical issue that was rectified quickly, but the buyer should still verify the condition of the front wish control arm bushes and suspension components for tearing, as these frequently fail on this chassis. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for corrosion on the rear subframe and sills is essential, as these structural issues do not always appear on a standard MOT until they reach a critical stage.
