2015 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · Y444 AGR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 at 73,519 miles. This pass followed a failure just one day prior, indicating the owner immediately addressed necessary repairs. Beyond this recent setback, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the car achieved four consecutive passes with no defects recorded between the intervening years. The consistency suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained reliable under current usage. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 26,588 miles in 2018 to over 73,000 miles by early 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden bursts of mileage that would suggest neglect or erratic use. The relatively low mileage for the age generally implies less wear on drivetrain components and rubber bushings, though it can mask age-related degradation of fluids and plastic parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and alignment geometry due to recurring issues. In both February 2022 and 2026, the tester flagged the vehicle for tyre damage, specifically cuts on the offside rear and inner edge wear on the nearside rear. This pattern of inner-edge wear often points to incorrect alignment or worn control arm bushes which cause premature tyre replacement. While the 2019 test noted thin front brake pads and pitted discs, these are standard consumable items, though a check of the current state of the braking system remains necessary to ensure they have been replaced since that entry.
