2012 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · LC61 SWU

The vehicle remains roadworthy; the latest MOT on 3 June 2025 at 154,011 miles passed without any recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past four years. For a 2012 BMW 520, 154,011 miles equates to roughly 11,000 miles per annum, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the normal range for a car of this age. The MOTs show a steady increase of about 10‑12 k miles between each annual test – 121,450 miles in April 2022, 131,605 miles in June 2023, 142,422 miles in June 2024 and 154,011 miles in June 2025 – with no significant gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest periods of neglect or heavy short‑term use. Although the record contains no recurring advisories, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by MOT data. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, confirm brake pads and discs are within service limits, and feel for any play in the front and rear suspension bushes or coil springs. A visual check for surface corrosion on the chassis, exhaust system integrity and any fluid leaks will further corroborate the clean MOT history. A short test drive will reveal the state of steering feel, any binding in the brake system, and the overall smoothness of the power‑train. With no MOT‑recorded faults, the car appears to have been maintained consistently, but confirming the consumables and structural components in person remains essential before purchase.
