2010 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · YJ10 AED

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at the September 2025 test, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass on 2025-09-16 at 48,468 miles showed no defects, and prior annual tests in 2024 and 2023 also returned passes with clean sheets. Two failed tests on 2025-09-16 at 44,454 miles and 2023-09-07 at 44,415 miles recorded no defects, indicating administrative or presentational failures rather than mechanical faults. At roughly 16 years old the car shows 48,468 miles, equating to about 3,029 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods off the road. Annual increments are modest: 1,633 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, then 2,283 miles to September 2025. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions issues logged across any test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and hidden corrosion, as MOT absence of advisories does not confirm freedom from age-related rust on a 2010 BMW. Standing time implied by low mileage can degrade tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes through inactivity rather than wear. Verify the V5C and odometer against the DVSA figures, and check for prior body or underside treatment. The repeated no-defect failures warrant confirmation that the vehicle was properly presented and not masking intermittent electrical or lighting faults absent on test day.
