2008 BMW Z4 2.0L Petrol · AV58 OSG

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent MOT on April 8 2026, at 29,864 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving following a period of recurring issues in late 2023. While the car failed its test in October 2023 due to structural tyre failures, the subsequent two passes indicate that these specific faults were addressed and rectified. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 29,864 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,659 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern, with for example only 1,643 miles driven between April 2025 and April 2026. This rate of travel suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which explains the low mileage but often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear on the drivetrain or engine. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history of repeated cracking and perishing across 2023 and 2024 indicates that the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread depth. Given the low mileage and likely long storage periods, one should also check for perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and perished hoses which become brittle in vehicles used infrequently. Furthermore, a check for corrosion on the chassis and structural points is essential, as these are common in vehicles of this age that have not seen frequent road use.
