2017 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · CX67 MLU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 19 December 2023 at 81,752 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car was maintained to a high standard at that time. While a failure was recorded in May 2022, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean passes suggest a proactive approach to addressing mechanical issues rather than letting them persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a premium executive car, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between August 2021 and May 2022, the vehicle covered 11,590 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The jump of 6,722 miles between May 2023 and December 2023 indicates a slight increase in activity during that short period. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in the braking system. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items for a BMW nearing the 90,000-mile mark. The buyer should verify the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue at this mileage. Although the record does not flag specific brake issues or structural rust, checking for minor caliper binding or uneven disc wear remains necessary. Since the last test was over two and a half years ago, the current mechanical state must be verified to ensure no new faults have developed since the last DVSA check.
