2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · FL14 OKJ

The 2014 BMW 520 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 93,881 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from February 2023 to February 2025 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,800 miles, typical for a twelve-year-old executive saloon. The odometer moved from 71,678 miles in February 2023 to 80,023 miles in February 2024, then 87,552 miles in February 2025, and 93,881 miles in February 2026. The DVSA log is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 1 February 2024 at 80,023 miles that carried no recorded defects and was immediately superseded by a pass on the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm those items were checked and cleared. The clean record offers no evidence of structural corrosion or binding calipers, but MOT passes with no defects do not equate to a component-level health report. Given the consistent low-mileage use and unbroken pass sequence, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current. The lack of any flagged wear items implies either diligent consumable replacement or simply that the tester found nothing reportable; verify tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
