BMW buyer-help section 

Before any BMW appears on our site, we check typical wear points owners discuss most: timing-chain history on older petrols, suspension arms/bushes, oil/coolant leaks, wheel integrity on larger 18”+ alloys, and EGR system condition on selected diesels. For each car we show MOT advisory history, tyre/brake readings and service evidence, so you know exactly what you’re buying.

Buying a Used BMW in Glasgow: What to Check

When you buy a used BMW, it’s important to know what’s under the bonnet.
At J & C Car Sales, our technicians inspect the areas that Glasgow buyers mention most on BMW forums and owner communities:

• Engine health: Older N-series petrols were known for timing chain wear — we verify every engine type and service record.

• Suspension & steering: Common arms and bush wear checked and replaced if necessary.

• Cooling system & EGR valves: Inspected for leaks and corrosion on diesel models.

• Alloy wheels: Checked for cracks or damage (especially on 18”+ wheels).

• Transmission & clutch: Tested for smooth operation — especially on manual 1 Series models.

• Brakes, tyres & consumables: Minimum 5mm tread depth and new discs/pads if worn.

We display this inspection summary on every car listing, along with MOT advisories, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
