2004 BMW Z4 3.2L Petrol · FN04 FBZ

The 2004 BMW Z4 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 51,608 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken three-year sequence of clear results. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories across the available record. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old roadster. The car covered just 92 miles between the 16 May 2023 test at 51,346 miles and the 3 June 2024 test at 51,516 miles, then only 92 miles again to the July 2025 figure of 51,608. Annual averages sit near 2,346 miles. Such low accumulation over three tests with no gaps implies the vehicle spent long periods stationary, though the sparse history offers no earlier entries to confirm behaviour before 2023. A buyer should still inspect for age-related issues the MOT did not flag. Prolonged standing invites perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers despite the clean passes. Structural corrosion around subframes and sills warrants close examination given the BMW's age and likely outdoor storage. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm the three passes reflect genuine use rather than clocking. The absence of advisories is reassuring, but low-mileage classics hide dormant mechanical faults that a static test cannot expose.
