2016 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · DY08 KOP

The 2025‑09‑08 MOT at 17,151 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, non‑declining trend. All earlier tests from 2020 through 2024 also returned pass results with zero defects, confirming consistent upkeep. The mileage progression from 7,150 miles in June 2020 to 17,151 miles in September 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 1,700 miles, consistent with the vehicle’s 2016 registration and low overall usage. Gaps between consecutive tests average about 12 months, and the most recent 11‑month interval saw a substantial rise of 8,178 miles, suggesting a period of more intensive use, yet no defects were logged. No recurring mechanical failures appear in the record; the only advisory in June 2024 concerned tyre perishing, which was subsequently cleared. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the rear and front brake calipers and discs for binding or corrosion, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust, especially given the vehicle’s age and low mileage. The buyer ought to confirm current tyre condition, assess the state of the exhaust system, and ensure that any previously flagged tyre issues have been fully remedied, as low mileage can mask underlying wear on critical components.
