2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · HA52 ENA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement following a period of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 165,596 miles passed with no recorded defects, continuing a three-year streak of clean results from 2023 through 2024. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high operational standard. The mileage profile reflects consistent and high usage, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per year over the twelve-year period. The record shows a steady progression of roughly 7,000 to 14,000 miles between annual tests, such as the jump from 112,427 miles in 2018 to 126,460 miles in 2019. While this consistent use indicates the car has not sat idle, it places significant cumulative wear on high-mileage drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system due to recurring historical faults. The 2021 and 2022 tests flagged worn suspension bushes, worn arm pins, and pitted front brake discs. While these were not noted in later tests, the high mileage means these rubber components and metal hardware are likely nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, the history of cracked front tyres and low tread in 2021 suggests that previous owners only replaced consumables when they reached failure, necessitating a thorough check of the current tyre condition and sidewall integrity.
