2016 BMW 428 2.0L Petrol · LX16 ADV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 30 November 2022 at 56,357 miles passed, but the tester flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted and scored on both sides, a condition that, while not yet deemed unsafe, signals emerging wear. The previous year’s test highlighted rear‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit, and the two earlier examinations recorded no defects. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with only consumable wear emerging as the vehicle ages. Mileage has risen from 17,533 miles on 7 May 2019 to 56,357 miles by November 2022, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year—a low figure for a ten‑year‑old BMW. The jump of 16,475 miles between May 2019 and November 2020 suggests a period of more intensive use, followed by consistent annual increases of about 11,000 miles. No large gaps or abrupt spikes are evident, indicating regular, moderate utilisation rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should examine the front brake discs for residual thickness, scoring patterns and any signs of warping, and verify that pads are within service limits. Rear tyre condition warrants visual inspection for uneven wear that may hint at suspension issues; checking suspension bushes, coil springs and any audible clunks will confirm that the chassis remains sound. Given that the last MOT was over three and a half years ago, arranging a current MOT before purchase will reveal any further deterioration, particularly in brake performance and structural corrosion.
