2011 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · LC60 XFR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a trend of consistent maintenance over the last several years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 146,830 miles resulted in a pass, though it flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This follows a period of clean records between 2022 and 2024 where no defects were noted, suggesting that recent mechanical issues have been addressed or kept dormant. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, moving from 82,965 miles in April 2016 to 146,830 miles in October 2025. There is a notable gap in testing between April 2022 and October 2022, where the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, but the annual interval indicates the vehicle has been worked consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system and suspension, as history shows recurring pitted and scored rear brake discs appearing between 2019 and 2021. The tester flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2021 at 102,412 miles, which indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their fatigue life. Given the history of worn tyres and sidew cuts, a thorough physical inspection of the current tyre set and alignment is necessary to ensure the uneven wear noted in 2025 has been rectified.
