2016 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · JA65 OOP

The 2016 BMW 520 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 79,285 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected norm for a ten-year-old executive saloon. The records show 57,345 miles in June 2021, rising to 62,642 by June 2022, 67,786 by June 2023, 72,116 in June 2024, and 79,285 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 6,500 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, listing zero advisories across all five entries, which suggests the car received sufficient upkeep to clear each test without flagged wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not certify component condition, only that the tester found nothing over the pass threshold on the day. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion should be physically checked given the vehicle's age and the fact that no historical MOT ever prompted a closer look at those areas. Given the clean record and modest use, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a standard that avoided test failures. The 79,285-mile figure against a 2025 pass means the vehicle entered the current year with valid roadworthiness, though the next test falls due by June 2026.
