Our Verdict

This is a highly recommended example of a 2013 BMW Z4 due to its exceptionally low mileage. Prospective buyers should proceed with confidence, provided a physical inspection confirms the mechanical state matches the clean MOT record.

Given the very low mileage for a 13-year-old vehicle, your primary focus should be on ensuring that maintenance has been performed even when the car wasn't being driven frequently. Low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components or fluids that haven't been cycled through the system regularly.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of any service intervals met, as the MOT history alone does not confirm mechanical maintenance. Check the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as these can perish or surface rust if a vehicle sits idle for long periods.

As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but you should expect typical roadster figures. Tax and insurance groups for a BMW Z4 of this era vary, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket suitable for experienced drivers.

Maintenance costs for BMW components can be higher than for mainstream brands. However, the low mileage suggests that major mechanical components like the engine and gearbox should not require immediate heavy investment, provided they have been serviced correctly.

While this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, the aggregate data for this model highlights brake pads, coil springs, and headlamps as common MOT failure points. You should specifically check the condition of the braking system and ensure the headlamp alignment and clarity are within standards.

Additionally, inspect the convertible roof mechanism and seals. Even with low mileage, rubber seals can dry out over time, potentially leading to leaks. Check the suspension components for any signs of wear, as coil spring failures are a known trend for this model type.

This grey 2.0L petrol BMW Z4 has covered just 25,615 miles since its first registration in March 2013, which is significantly lower than the model average of 3,616 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in May 2025 at 25,614 miles. The record is notably free of defects or advisories across all recorded tests.

Aggregate data from over 40,000 vehicles shows an 82.8% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to brakes, springs, and lighting.
