2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · EO64 DFG

A clean MOT record across five consecutive annual tests places this 2014 BMW 520 in a category of vehicles with no recorded mechanical failures; the only notation appears in the October 2025 test, where both nearside and off‑side front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit, confirming that the car has otherwise met the DVSA safety criteria each year. At 124,591 miles the mileage averages roughly 10,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve‑year‑old executive saloon. The MOT history shows no gaps, indicating the vehicle has been tested each year without missed appointments, and the steady accumulation suggests a consistent, moderate level of wear rather than periods of intensive short‑term use or prolonged storage. Prospective buyers should give immediate attention to the front tyre condition. Verify tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm on all four tyres, and inspect the sidewalls for cuts, bulges or uneven wear that could hint at mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive, listen for a humming or thumping noise that varies with speed, and feel for any pull to one side when the steering wheel is centred, both of which would corroborate tyre‑related issues. Although no other advisories have been recorded, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a focused inspection of the suspension and braking systems. Check the condition of the front suspension bushes, control arm joints and tyre pressure sensors for any looseness, creaking or excessive play when the car is rocked over bumps. Examine the brake discs and pads for thickness and scoring, and test the pedal for consistent travel and the absence of judder under firm application. Confirm that steering feels precise without vibration, and that there is no unusual noise from the steering rack or wheel bearings, as these are the typical wear points that may not have triggered an MOT failure yet.
