What warranty do BMW Approved Used cars come with?

BMW’s 12-month Approved Used Warranty give you unlimited mileage protection against mechanical and electrical failures, excluding routine service items and wear-and-tear components. This includes coverage for all major components such as the engine, gearbox, battery, and even the exhaust system.

Is there MOT cover with Approved Used BMWs?

Yes. If your car requires an MOT during the warranty period and it fails, BMW will contribute up to the cost of any necessary work, giving you additional peace of mind during your ownership.

Is there an inspection with Approved Used BMWs?

Every BMW that joins the Approved Used scheme is given a 120-point check and a full road test, which covers safety systems, diagnostics, drivetrain performance and visual condition. Any identified faults are repaired before the car is put up for sale.

Do BMW Approved Used cars come with a history check?

Yes. BMW ensures every car has an independently certified history and mileage check. This guarantees that the vehicle isn’t stolen, written off, or saddled with outstanding finance. Cars are also checked for consistent servicing to BMW standards.

Is there an exchange policy with Approved Used BMWs?

BMW offers a 30-day/1000-mile exchange or refund policy for vehicles with a demonstrable fault that can’t be resolved. This give you an extra layer of reassurance if peace of mind is a top priority.

Are there any extras included with BMW Approved Used cars?

As well as the warranty and breakdown assistance, you'll get access to five days of BMW Driveaway Insurance. There’s also access to BMW’s finance options and the ability to lock in servicing at fixed prices using BMW Service Inclusive, depending on the car’s age and mileage.

Which used BMW car is right for me?

With more than 40 models in the lineup, including petrol and diesel, plug-in hybrid and fully electric cars, there's a BMW for virtually every type of driver. The 1 Series is a small and efficient hatchback, while the 3 Series remains the brand’s benchmark for sporty saloons and estates. For space and comfort, the 5 Series and 7 Series are fantastic, offering executive-level features.

The SUV range – from the small X1 to the very large X7 – caters to those that want extra practicality, with coupé-styled variants like the X2, X4 and X6 offering sleeker alternatives. The Z4 roadster is ideal for roof-down, ope-air motoring, and BMW’s powerful M models deliver uncompromising performance. Electric models like the i4, iX1, iX3 and iX also represent a great choice if you're after something battery powered – check out our guide to BMW electric cars if you're looking to go fully electric.

What is the best BMW model to buy used?

The 5 Series Touring is one of the best all-rounders, offering loads of space, comfort, and quality. The 1 Series is great for more budget-conscious buyers, while the Z4 offers affordable fun. For high-end refinement, look out for the 7 Series or an i7 EV.

Is it worth buying a BMW with high mileage?

BMW engines are generally robust and very capable of high mileages, as long as they’ve been properly serviced. While high-mileage cars might show a bit more cosmetic wear, well-maintained examples can be an excellent-value buy. Make sure you look for a full service history and clean MOT record.

Is it OK to buy a used BMW?

Yes, especially through the Approved Used programme. You’ll get quality assurance, warranty cover and the benefit of dealer expertise. A used BMW can give you luxury and performance at a more accessible price point, which makes it a very attractive purchase.
