Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 10 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 25 September 2024; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 22 September 2023 (offside front tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm; nearside rear tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm; offside rear tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm; and 1 more) and passed 3 days later, on 25 September 2023.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside front road wheel slightly distorted; offside front road wheel slightly distorted.

Mileage at that test: 131,833 miles. The advert says 127,987 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 34,100 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2012 BMW 3 Series on AskCar.
