2014 BMW 5202.0L Diesel

The 2014 BMW 520 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 121,018 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,085 miles per year. The records show 93,853 miles at the January 2021 test, rising to 99,598 by January 2022, then 101,454 in March 2023, 105,014 in February 2024, and 121,018 by October 2025. The jump between February 2024 and October 2025 accounts for around 16,000 miles in nineteen months, a modest increase over prior years but not abnormal. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every entry listing no advisories or defects. A clean MOT chain with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues suggests the previous keepers maintained the car to a basic pass standard. Absence of advisories does not confirm component health, only that nothing breached test thresholds on the day. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the age and 121,018 miles. Check underneath for rust on subframes and sills, and measure brake disc wear and tyre condition that a pass certificate will not detail.
