2016 BMW 420 2.0L Petrol · AF16 CEU

The 2016 BMW 420 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 97,922 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,800 miles per year against the car's ten-year life, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 63,503 miles in January 2023, 73,836 miles by February 2024, 87,716 miles in January 2025, and 97,922 miles at the latest test. The only anomaly is a failed entry logged on 2 February 2024 at 73,836 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any advisories across five tests, the DVSA record shows no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied testers without flagged consumable items such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the braking system, underbody for hidden rust, and front suspension articulation, since MOT passes with zero advisories do not measure remaining component life. The clean history implies disciplined upkeep, but at 97,922 miles the timing belt service interval, transmission fluid, and damper condition warrant verification against BMW's schedule before purchase.
