2014 BMW 5202.0L Diesel

The 2026‑04‑18 MOT at 184,640 miles passed without any defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently road‑worthy and that the maintenance record reflects a stable condition with no recurring failures. The mileage trajectory shows a marked acceleration after the early 2018 tests: from 37,100 miles in January 2018 to 67,931 miles by October of the same year, a rise of over 30,000 miles in nine months, followed by steady annual increments that pushed the odometer to 184,640 miles by April 2026. Gaps between tests are minimal, with most inspections occurring within a year of the previous one, suggesting consistent use and regular testing despite the high annual mileage of roughly 15,400 miles. Recurring issues flagged in earlier records include front brake pads wearing thin in 2017 and 2019, and near‑side rear tyres showing edge wear in 2019, indicating that brake and tyre components have been subject to repeated stress. No structural rust, corrosion, or exhaust emission failures have been recorded, but the repeated tyre wear and brake pad thinning point to potential suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, and binding calipers that should be examined. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, and tyre condition in person, verify the integrity of the structural bodywork for any hidden corrosion, and confirm that the exhaust system meets current emission standards, as these are the components most likely to exhibit wear given the vehicle’s high mileage and age.
