2013 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · DY07 ADY

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 July 2025 at 123,793 miles passed without a single defect or advisory recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has had preventative work carried out prior to testing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between July 2022 and July 2023, where the odometer rose from 98,353 to 110,872 miles. Since then, the annual mileage has stabilised, with 4,752 miles added between August 2024 and July 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has avoided the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished seals. The absence of advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a thirteen year old BMW and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for underbody corrosion and verifying the service history for oil leaks is advised, as the MOT test does not comprehensively evaluate engine seals or gearbox health. The single failure on 7 August 2024 was resolved on the same day, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure. This is likely a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Given the lack of recurring issues with brake discs or exhaust emissions, the mechanical integrity appears sound based on the available data.
