This 2016 Bmw has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 57,350 miles. The high mileage and numerous community-reported faults for the N54 engine and timing chain make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,230 miles/year, with a significant spike in 2023 (17,113 miles) and a notable drop in 2022 (3,870 miles) compared to the preceding year.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2019-12-19, indicating a severe safety hazard.
- High annual mileage (13,230 mi/yr) significantly exceeds UK average, leading to accelerated component wear.
- Community-reported N54 engine reliability issues and plastic timing chain guide failures are critical for this model.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-21, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No failures recorded for the last 5 years, indicating issues were addressed promptly.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
