2016 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · NU66 ACO

The 2016 BMW 520 remains roadworthy, having passed the latest MOT on 11 September 2025 at 62 761 miles. The record lists only a few wear‑related defects – a corroded rear brake pipe, an off‑side front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not excessively, and the usual undertray interference that prevents a full suspension check. No major safety faults have appeared, so the maintenance trend is essentially stable. Mileage growth from 42 101 miles in August 2019 to 62 761 miles in September 2025 averages about 3 444 miles per year. This is well below the typical 6 200–6 500 miles for a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate use or periods of inactivity. The annual increments are consistent, with no sudden spikes or long gaps that would hint at irregular upkeep or heavy use. A buyer should examine the components flagged repeatedly. Inspect the rear brake pipe for corrosion or leaks that could reduce hydraulic pressure. Check the off‑side front suspension arm pin or bush for play, and verify that the suspension geometry remains within spec, especially given the undertray obstruction. Tyre tread has approached the legal limit on several occasions; replace any worn tyres. Brake pads have shown consistent wear, so verify pad thickness and disc condition. Shock absorbers have exhibited light oil misting, indicating potential seal wear. Finally, the underbody covers and undertrays may conceal rust or hidden suspension damage, so a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and suspension mounts is advisable.
