2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · FJ64 VGO

The 2014 BMW 520 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 123,642 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since October 2022. The brief failure on 5 October 2024 at 117,355 miles was followed three days later by a pass at 117,409 miles, with no defects listed on either entry, indicating the vehicle was rectified and retested without formal advisories logged. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,300 miles per year against the 123,642 recorded, which is typical for a twelve-year-old executive saloon. The records show steady accumulation: 106,313 miles in October 2022, 111,849 in October 2023, 117,409 in October 2024, and 123,642 in October 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear. The sparse, defect-free history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work, though the absence of advisories across five tests is unusual for a car of this age and warrants physical verification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record captures only test-day condition and may omit emerging fatigue. The October 2024 fail with no listed defect suggests an administrative or emissions-readiness issue rather than structural fault, but the tester logged nothing to confirm root cause. Given the clean trajectory and ordinary mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to pass standard. Prior to purchase, confirm underside corrosion levels, tyre tread depth across all axles, and binding calipers, since these items degrade between tests and escape DVSA documentation when within tolerance on the day.
