2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · CIG 525

The 2014 BMW 520 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 93,253 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 16 October 2024 at 82,312 miles confirms the vehicle has held a fault-free MOT status for over twelve months. The single failure on 15 October 2024 at 82,283 miles listed no defects, with the car passing the very next day, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The odometer rose from 66,460 miles at the 17 October 2022 test to 74,119 miles by 27 September 2023, then to 82,283 miles by mid-October 2024, and reached 93,253 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 7,800 miles per year, matching the expected average and indicating no rapid accumulation or long dormant periods that would raise standing-vehicle corrosion concerns. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT record does not capture wear below failure thresholds. The absence of structural or exhaust emissions flags in the data suggests no chronic rust or catalytic fault pattern, yet DVSA tests omit hidden corrosion on inner sills and subframes. Verify the 15 October 2024 failure reason at point of sale through the full DVSA certificate, since a no-defect fail often signals a documentation mismatch rather than a resolved defect.
