Moderate sample. 432 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
This 2013 BMW 320D EfficentDynamics falls short of the UK average with a first-time pass rate of 74.8% versus the national 80%, suggesting these cars are slightly more troublesome than typical for their age. On the positive side, no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so you're not looking at safety-critical issues.
At 117,724 miles median mileage, these cars have been driven hard for their eleven years on the road, yet the modest 0.79 average failures per test indicates the mechanical basics hold up reasonably well. Before purchasing, get a full pre-buy inspection focused on suspension and cooling systems—the areas where this generation of BMW tends to rack up MOT failures—and factor in that one in four will likely need work to pass its next test.
The 2013 BMW 320d Efficientdynamics passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (86.6% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 432 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
