2013 BMW 120 2.0L Diesel · BX63 MVM

As a 1995cc diesel, fuel economy should be relatively efficient for motorway cruising, though this may diminish with high engine wear. This vehicle will fall into a specific insurance group and tax band based on its 2013 specifications; you should verify the exact band before purchase.

Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a car of this age. While routine consumables like tyres and brakes are standard, high-mileage diesel engines often require more expensive repairs to fuel systems or emissions components. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,400-£1,800, depending on your annual mileage and repair requirements.

While the recent MOT history for BX63MVM shows no defects, you should remain mindful of common failure points for this model, such as headlamps, tyres, and brake hoses, which are noted as top failure reasons in the wider model data. Specifically, inspect the condition of the brake lines and the integrity of the tyre sidewalls.

Because the 2022 MOT recorded a failure at 163,322 miles, investigate what caused that failure to ensure it was a one-off occurrence. On this specific 2.0L diesel engine, pay close attention to any unusual engine noise that could indicate timing chain issues, and check the underside for signs of corrosion or fluid leaks that an MOT tester might not have flagged as a primary failure.
