2013 BMW 5252.0L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-10-02 MOT at 134,518 miles. Subsequent tests from 2024 to 2022 also showed passes with no defects, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a 2022-10-07 test recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, raising potential data inconsistencies. The absence of recurring issues in later tests suggests the car has remained mechanically sound, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was aFalse report or an unresolved concern. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,348 miles annually. From 109,491 miles in 2022 to 134,518 in 2025, the growth shows steady accumulation without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. Notably, the 2022-10-07 test recorded the same mileage for both a pass and a failure, which may indicate a data entry error. The clean MOT history since 2023 suggests no significant mechanical degradation, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade in older vehicles. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop over time. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, given the car’s age. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the 2022 failure and limited defect details underscore the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond documented tests.
