Vehicle details

Boasting an MOT valid until January 2027 and a full service history, this 2012 BMW 3 Series 318i Performance Edition presents a compelling proposition. With a clear vehicle history check and a recent service completed on 2026 01 23 at 80617 miles, this car has been meticulously maintained. Under the bonnet lies a 2.0L petrol engine, and the Performance Edition trim ensures a refined driving experience. Notable features include enhanced Bluetooth hands free functionality with USB audio interface, allowing for seamless phone calls and music streaming, alongside rear park distance control for easier manoeuvring. This BMW 3 Series stands out with its low mileage for its age, having covered approximately 80000 miles. Its fuel economy is a significant highlight, achieving an impressive 45 mpg, which indicates it is more economical than many similar vehicles. Furthermore, its low insurance group and low CO2 emissions suggest that running costs are kept to a minimum, making it a sensible choice. A 3 month warranty is also included for your peace of mind.

Category write-offs

A vehicle that has been in an accident will be assessed by insurance companies and assigned a category: A, B, S or N. However, we only list Cat S or N cars as Cat A and B cars are not roadworthy and safe.

Category S (formerly Category C)

The 'S' in Cat S stands for structural damage. This means the vehicle has damage to its structure/chassis, which is more than just cosmetic damage. But the vehicle can be professionally repaired, making it safe and roadworthy.

Category N (formerly Category D)

Similarly, the 'N' in Cat N stands for non-structural damage. Here, the vehicle has sustained damage, but it has not affected the structure/chassis. A Cat N car is safe to drive as the damage could be minimal/cosmetic.

Buying a written-off vehicle:

Do a full vehicle history check to identify category vehicles.
Make sure to check with the dealer if a Cat S/N vehicle has been professionally repaired.
Book a vehicle inspection and our experts will look over a Category vehicle for you.
