Our Verdict
This 2016 BMW 4 Series with a 2.0-litre
Despite the strong MOT record, a clean pass certificate does not confirm mechanical soundness, so an independent inspection is still worthwhile on a petrol 4 Series approaching ten years old. Check the service book and any invoices to verify that oil changes, brake fluid, and coolant have been changed at the correct intervals for a BMW of this age, and look for evidence of work on the timing chain, VANOS system, and crankcase ventilation — these are areas worth investigating on the B48 2.0-litre petrol unit regardless of MOT outcome. Negotiate on the basis of age and the fact that consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension components will likely need replacement in the near future. A test drive should cover cold starts, smooth acceleration, and any warning lights on the iDrive system, as these would not show on an MOT.
The 2.0-litre petrol 4 Series typically returns around 40-45 mpg on a mixed drive, with insurance falling in group 28-32 depending on trim. Road tax for a 2016 petrol of this engine size sits around £200-£250 per year. Typical maintenance costs are moderate for a premium vehicle — expect £400-£600 annually for routine servicing and wear-and-tear items, with higher bills possible if the timing chain or VANOS components require attention. The estimated annual running cost is therefore around £1,400-£1,700 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Examine the alloy wheels for kerb damage and check tyre condition across the full tread width, as tyres are the top MOT failure reason on this model. Inspect the suspension, particularly the front shock absorbers, bushes, and drop links, since shock absorbers are the second most common failure point. Check for oil leaks around the engine and look at the underside for any corrosion or weeping from the coolant pipes. On the test drive, listen for knocking from the front suspension over speed bumps and confirm that the auto gearbox (if fitted) changes smoothly through all gears.
This white 571BAC BMW 4 Series was first registered in April 2016 and has accumulated 41,727 miles over ten years, equating to roughly 4,000 miles per year — well below the 7,454 average for the model. Five MOT tests are recorded, all of which passed without any advisories or failures, which is a notably clean record. Against an 86.4% model pass rate, this individual vehicle sits comfortably in the stronger cohort of 4 Series cars.
Across 1,413 BMW 4 Series vehicles analysed, the MOT pass rate of 86.4% places the model in a middling position, with tyres, road wheel fixings, and shock absorbers being the most common failure points.
