This 2015 Bmw has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 16,355 miles. However, the vehicle's history reveals significant engine and timing chain reliability issues that are critical for a 2015 diesel model.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,758 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2024-2025.
Things to check
- BMW N54 diesel engine has a history of serious reliability issues, including timing chain and HPFP failures.
- Transport blocks left installed on front struts affecting suspension is a known owner-reported fault.
- The 2018-05-15 MOT failure for a bulge on the nearside front tyre, though rectified, indicates prior neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Clean MOT pass record with no failures recorded across 8 tests.
- Consistent low annual mileage averaging 6,758 miles/year, indicating light use.
- Recent MOT pass on 2025-05-06, valid until 2026-05-06, confirms current roadworthiness.
