BMW 1202004 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the data is now critically outdated. The most recent recorded MOT test in September 2012 at 76,231 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, because there are no recorded tests for the subsequent fourteen years, the current roadworthiness of the structural integrity, braking system, and essential safety components cannot be verified through DVSA records. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of over twenty years, averaging approximately 3,465 miles per year. Between August 2009 and September 2012, the car covered 28,627 miles, which suggests consistent but light-duty use. The gap in records following the 2012 test indicates the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods or kept off the public road entirely. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and cracked suspension bushes, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection focusing on components that suffer from long-term storage and age. The recurring issues with the offside windscreen between 2009 and 2011 suggest a history of minor stone chips, but the primary concern remains the potential for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, which are common in BMWs of this era if left unmon. Inspect the state of the brake fluid, coolant, and all engine rubber seals, as these degrade over time even without the wear of high mileage.
