2012 BMW 5202.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 134,626 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of perfect passes across the last five recorded years suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing any potential mechanical or safety issues before they could trigger a test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old BMW, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between 2021 at 100,471 miles and October 2025 at 134,626 miles, the car covered 34,155 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,500 miles annually. This regular interval is often beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the degradation associated with long stationary periods while avoiding the accelerated wear seen with high-mileage heavy motorway use. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this specific age and mileage. Given the 134,000-mile mark, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms for cracking or tearing, as rubber components often perish over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and check the underside for any structural corrosion, as the MOT only identifies these issues once they reach a threshold of failure.
