About this car

This 2012 BMW 3 Series has covered 158,000 miles. Priced at £2,489, it is advertised £746 below the AskCar estimate of £3,235. The AskCar estimate uses UK dealer asking prices, including 6,897 BMW 3 Series adverts, and accounts for the car’s age, mileage and specification. Since we first spotted the advert 161 days ago, the asking price has dropped by £500. Ask the dealer why the advert shows fewer miles than the 158,991 recorded at the latest MOT. Our records show an MOT expiry date of 2 November 2022, which has passed. Ask the dealer for an update. The seller is Motorhub, based in Keighley.

Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 5 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 2 November 2022; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 9 MOTs. The latest, on 3 November 2021, passed.

Advisories at the latest test: emission to clean; offside front lower suspension arm ball joint has slight play.

Mileage at that test: 158,991 miles. The advert says 158,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 63,600 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2012 BMW 3 Series on AskCar.
