2014 BMW 530 3.0L Diesel · LJ14 AEX

The 2025‑09‑23 MOT at 97,686 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy as of that date. All previous tests from 2017 onward have also issued passes with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a trend of worsening or improving condition. Mileage accumulation has been steady, rising from 17,304 miles in February 2017 to 97,686 miles by September 2025, a gain of roughly 8,140 miles per year that aligns with the vehicle’s 12‑year age. Each annual test since 2017 has been spaced about one year apart, with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring tyre wear noted on the near‑ and off‑side rear tyres in 2020, 2024 and 2025, which points to possible mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes; inspect the rear suspension bushes, coil springs and steering linkage for play or corrosion, examine the rear brake calipers for binding, assess the condition of the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion. Verify tyre tread depth, condition of wiper blades and lights, and ensure the exhaust system meets emission standards.
