2017 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · AF17 HOJ

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the February 2026 test at 158,122 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the most recent three passed tests showing clean results. A buyer should note the two failed tests on 24 February 2024 at 135,150 miles and 30 January 2025 at 145,232 miles both listed no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 158,122 against a 2017 build year equates to roughly 17,569 miles annually, which is high for this model age and points to sustained motorway or business use. The odometer moved from 135,155 at the February 2024 pass to 145,232 by January 2025, then to 158,122 by February 2026, showing consistent yearly accumulation near ten thousand miles with no standing periods. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, offering no corrosion, suspension bush, or brake disc entries across the record. Given the clean test outcomes, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as nine-year-old BMWs with high mileage commonly develop subframe or sill rust unseen in a standard MOT bay. The front suspension arms, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical checks for binding or worn bushes despite no tester flags. The twin-turbo drivetrain at 158,122 miles carries elevated wear risk, so a compression and oil pressure review is prudent before purchase.
