BMW 5202013 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2013 BMW 520 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-15 inspection at 132,057 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no recurring faults requiring urgent attention. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,158 miles annually. Tests show steady accumulation, with intervals between MOTs reflecting regular driving rather than prolonged inactivity. The 2021-07-29 test at 91,907 miles to the 2022-07-25 test at 105,742 miles marked a slight increase of 13,835 miles, but this remains within normal parameters. No significant gaps or anomalies in mileage are evident, supporting the conclusion of consistent, moderate usage. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as coil springs and bushes, which may degrade over time, and inspect brake discs and calipers for wear, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The exhaust system should also be checked for corrosion, particularly around joints and mounts. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden rust or damage, especially in underbody areas prone to road salt exposure.
