Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a well-documented BMW 428. The absence of MOT failures over the last five years suggests a consistent testing record.
When viewing this 2.0L petrol BMW, verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly, as this is vital for turbocharged engines. Although the MOT history shows no failures, you should check for any signs of oil leaks or cooling system issues which are common in this engine family but may not always trigger an MOT failure immediately.
Negotiate based on the recent increase in mileage; the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles in the last 18 months, which is a higher annual rate than the previous periods. Ensure all electronics and the infotainment system are fully operational, as these are high-value components to replace.
The 1997cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and economy, though running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Expect moderate fuel consumption typical of a premium coupe. Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 428 are generally mid-to-high, so obtain a specific quote based on your postcode.
Maintenance costs for BMW models tend to be higher than for mainstream brands due to the requirement for specialist parts and technician expertise. Budget for premium tyres and brake components, which are standard requirements for a vehicle of this weight and performance profile.
Since the MOT history for this specific vehicle shows no recorded defects, your inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not comprehensively cover. Check the condition of the turbocharger hoses and the cooling system for any signs of weeping or degradation.
Pay close attention to the suspension components and bushings; while no MOT failures have been recorded yet, the mileage of 88,568 is a point where wear and tear often becomes visible. Additionally, inspect the white paintwork for any signs of stone chipping or previous repairs that might not be reflected in the MOT data.
This 2014 white BMW 428 has covered 88,568 miles since its first registration in March 2014. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes between 2022 and 2026, with no recorded defects or failures in any of those tests. While the mileage has increased more significantly between 2025 and 2026, the overall record remains free of documented mechanical or safety failures.
There is no aggregate MOT data available for the BMW 428 to provide a specific reliability consensus.
