2016 BMW 420 2.0L Diesel · GE05 MER

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 97,750 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consistent passing since 2019, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to regular, routine upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical annual usage of approximately 6,000 to 9,000 miles. Between December 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 11,223 miles, which aligns with the previous annual averages. There are no signs of excessive or erratic mileage spikes that would suggest heavy commercial use or long periods of inactivity. The only recorded issue in the recent history occurred during the November 2024 test at 92,335 miles, where the tester flagged both the nearside rear and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This indicates a minor lapse in monitoring consumable wear, though the subsequent clean test in late 2025 suggests these tyres were replaced or the issue was addressed. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and alignment, as the edge wear noted in 2024 can sometimes indicate suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the braking system, including disc thickness and caliper operation, and an assessment of the suspension components for play or leaks would be prudent to ensure the current clean MOT status remains representative of the car's mechanical condition.
