2013 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · G5 CYM

The 2013 BMW 520 remains roadworthy based on the latest DVSA test conducted on 5 November 2025 at 108,600 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with five successive annual examinations from November 2021 through November 2025 each achieving a clean pass and zero advisories. The odometer advanced from 79,857 miles at the 4 November 2021 test to 108,600 miles by the 5 November 2025 test, an average annual increase of roughly 7,200 miles across that span. This figure sits below the vehicle's lifetime average of about 8,354 miles per year for its 13 years of service. The record shows no gaps; each test landed within a few days of the prior November date, proving the previous keeper adhered to timely statutory testing. Such consistent moderate use implies careful ownership rather than neglected standing or fleet abuse. The tester flagged no binding calipers, no corroded structures, no failed suspension bushes and no excessive brake disc wear throughout the history. A buyer should still commission a ramp inspection of structural integrity around sills and subframes, as corrosion can develop between tests without breaching MOT thresholds. Suspension components such as coil springs and bushes demand physical flexion checks given the car's age. Tyres and wiper blades met standards at each examination, yet tread depth and rubber condition should be verified in person before purchase.
