BMW 5 SERIES2013 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 17 April 2025 at 98,434 miles recording no defects. Prior to that pass, the same-day test on 17 April 2025 at 98,432 miles returned a failure with no defects logged, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The preceding annual tests from 2022 through 2024 each passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,572 miles against the car's 13-year life, a typical figure for a 2013 BMW 5 Series. The records show steady accumulation: 74,134 miles in March 2022, 79,028 in April 2023, 85,923 in March 2024, and 98,434 by April 2025. The jump of 12,511 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests is the largest single-year gain and lifts the average, yet no gaps or dormant periods appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry either clean or administratively failed, so no consumable or structural concerns were formally raised. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the higher annual use in the last cycle. The absence of advisories across the record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOTs do not measure worn dampers or incipient corrosion hidden beneath trims. Verify the 17 April 2025 failure cause on the DVSA portal, as a no-defect fail often signals a documentation mismatch rather than roadworthiness doubt.
