2017 BMW 4202.0L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 at 85,722 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. A consistent pattern of passing tests over the past four years, including the 2024-08-08 and 2023-08-10 exams, indicates stable maintenance. The 2022-07-15 failure at 50,601 miles was recorded without specific defects, but subsequent tests show no recurring issues, suggesting the car has since been properly addressed. Overall, the maintenance trend reflects responsible upkeep, with no critical faults emerging in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 85,722 miles over 9 years aligns with an average annual usage of 9,525 miles, typical for its age. The MOT records show gradual, consistent mileage increases, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes. Notably, the 2022-07-15 failure occurred just seven days before the next test on 2022-07-22, with only 268 miles added in that period. This suggests the car may have been stationary or minimally used during that time, potentially affecting components like the battery or brakes. The absence of defects in later tests implies any issues were resolved promptly. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older BMWs, and check for brake disc corrosion or uneven wear. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be verified, as these components often degrade over time. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2022 failure—though unexplained—warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity and address any latent issues.
