2016 BMW 330 3.0L Diesel · YC66 ADU

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 79,405 miles with a PASS result and no recorded defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend after earlier minor failures. The absence of new advisories suggests that the previous issues have either been rectified or are no longer deemed unsafe. Mileage has risen from 39,182 miles in July 2022 to 79,405 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year – a figure consistent with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old BMW 330. The incremental increases of about 10–15 k miles each year show no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, implying regular, moderate use rather than excessive wear. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension and tyre condition, as the 2024‑08‑07 test flagged light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and noted slight damage or cracking on both front tyres. The 2023‑07‑04 records of thin rear brake pads and play in the offside front steering rack inner joint merit a close inspection of the brake discs, pads, and steering linkage for wear or looseness. Verify headlamp alignment, as a mis‑aimed nearside front headlamp was recorded in the 2023 failure, and confirm that any child seat fittings do not obscure the adult seat‑belt mechanism, ensuring full belt functionality.
