2013 BMW 5 Series 2.0L Diesel · KN13 AEJ

The vehicle emerged from the most recent MOT on 6 December 2025 at 162,624 miles with a PASS and no recorded defects, indicating a road‑worthy status at that point. The pattern of results—PASS, PASS, PASS, a single FAIL quickly corrected the following day, then another PASS—shows a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. At 13 years old, the car has accumulated 162,624 miles, averaging roughly 12,500 miles per annum, which is high for its age. Between the 29 December 2024 test at 149,754 miles and the 6 December 2025 test the mileage rose by 12,870 miles in just under a year, confirming a consistent usage rate. The narrow gap between the 31 January 2024 FAIL at 139,061 miles and the 1 February 2024 PASS at 139,064 miles suggests the issue was remedied promptly, though the record does not disclose the nature of the failure. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to wear‑related components that the MOT does not capture in detail. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of worn shock absorbers, as high mileage often accelerates fatigue in these areas. Examine brake discs and pads for thinning or uneven wear, verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, and look for any corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and subframe. Confirm that the corrective work following the January 2024 failure was completed satisfactorily, and request a full service history to corroborate the vehicle’s upkeep.
