Our Verdict

Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil

Focus your enquiry on the service history of the 1997cc petrol engine to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly. Specifically, ask for evidence that the front and rear brake discs, which were noted as worn and pitted in August 2024, have since been replaced, as these were key advisories prior to the most recent clean tests.

Check the current state of the tyres. The 2023 MOT failure specifically noted inner edge baldness on the rear tyres, which can sometimes indicate an alignment issue. Ensure the current tyres show even wear across the tread to confirm this has been rectified.

As a 2.0L petrol vehicle from 2015, this BMW will sit in a moderate to high insurance group and have a tax bracket based on its original CO2 emissions. Fuel economy for the 428i engine is typical for a premium executive coupe, meaning higher urban costs.

Maintenance costs for BMWs tend to be higher than average, particularly for brake components and specialist tyres. Expect annual costs to be higher than a standard hatchback, reflecting the premium nature of the 4 Series range.

Inspect the brake discs through the alloy wheels for any signs of pitting or scoring, referencing the advisories from the 2024 MOT. Verify that the windscreen washer system is fully operational, as this was a point of failure in 2023.

Carefully examine the inner edges of all four tyres. Given the previous failure for 'inner edge bald' tyres in 2023, any sign of uneven wear on the current set would suggest a recurring suspension or tracking problem that needs addressing.

This 2015 black BMW 428 petrol has covered 59,976 miles, which is low for its age. The MOT history shows a failure in 2023 due to tyre wear and washer fluid, and advisories regarding brake disc condition in 2024. However, the tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed with no defects recorded.

Specific aggregate reliability data is unavailable for this model, but this individual vehicle's record shows a pattern of managing standard wear-and-tear items.
