2021 BMW 420I M Sport Auto 2.0L Petrol · X28 SCH

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 25 March 2026 at 47 803 miles, confirming it meets the minimum roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend is stable: the most recent test recorded a nearside rear tyre worn to 2 mm (close to the legal limit) and a previous advisory for a nearside front shock absorber showing light oil misting. No new failures have emerged, indicating the condition is not deteriorating further. Mileage accumulation over the car’s five‑year life totals 47 803 miles, averaging roughly 9 560 miles per year—a typical figure for a 2021 model. The gap between the September 2024 test (29 406 miles) and the March 2026 test added 18 397 miles in about 18 months, a higher rate than the annual average. The latest entry is only a few months old, so the data is current. A buyer should inspect the rear tyre for uneven wear and confirm tread depth exceeds the 2 mm limit, as the advisory suggests the tyre is nearing replacement. The front shock absorber warrants a close visual check for oil leakage; the misting noted in 2024 points to a possible seal fault that could worsen without attention. A visual examination of suspension mounts, brake discs for corrosion, and the exhaust system is also advisable given the vehicle’s age and the recorded advisories. The MOT history shows no recurring brake or drivetrain issues, but the combination of tyre wear and shock‑absorber oil indicates routine maintenance has been performed, albeit with some consumables left until near the limit. A pre‑purchase inspection focused on these components will confirm whether they are within acceptable limits before acquisition.
