2010 BMW Alpina 2.0L Diesel · FJ60 FMD

The 2010 BMW Alpina presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 21 May 2025 at 85,317 miles returned a pass with no advisories, continuing a clean record that shows no worsening mechanical trend across the available history. Mileage sits at 85,317 against an approximate 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,332 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its age. The record shows 72,623 miles at the 17 December 2021 test, rising to 75,879 by 16 December 2022, then 77,894 at the 24 May 2024 pass. A two-day gap between the 22 May 2024 fail and the 24 May 2024 pass at near-identical mileage (77,893 to 77,894) suggests a rectification turnaround rather than accumulated use. Annual coverage stayed under 4,000 miles in most intervals, implying light running or periods of storage. The sparse MOT data flags no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or structural corrosion issues across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and subframe mounts, as Alpina-tuned BMWs of this era are prone to hidden chassis rust where testers cannot see without lifting. Verify the 22 May 2024 failure cause, since DVSA logs show no defects recorded yet the vehicle required a retest two days later. Given the low mileage and clean passes, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. The absence of advisories does not confirm consumable condition, so examine tyre sidewalls, brake caliper freedom, and exhaust emissions at point of sale before commitment.
