2002 BMW 530 3.0L Petrol · KD52 AVK

The 2002 BMW 530 remains roadworthy, as confirmed by its most recent MOT on 18 January 2024, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with each successive test since 2010 showing identical pass outcomes and no recorded faults. Mileage has risen steadily from 81,007 miles in December 2010 to roughly 100,000 miles by early 2024, averaging about 1,500–2,000 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or missing intervals; the interval between the 2022 test and the 2024 test spans just over two years, keeping the record current. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the discs show even wear, and inspect the rear wheel arches and chassis for any signs of structural rust, while also checking tyre tread depth and the condition of the exhaust system. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent, defect‑free testing over more than a decade, suggesting responsible ownership, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted mechanical components is advisable before purchase.
