2021 BMW 520D M Sport Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · LO21 AFA

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 59,216 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 29 January 2025 at 53,164 miles also showed a clean sheet. The earlier pass on 25 March 2024 at 39,081 miles confirms no advisories across the recorded history. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring defects appear in the DVLA data. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old executive diesel. The car covered 14,083 miles between the March 2024 test at 39,081 miles and the January 2025 test at 53,164 miles, then only 6,052 miles in the following year to the January 2026 test at 59,216 miles. The sparse record shows just four entries, with a failed test on 21 January 2025 at 53,164 miles logged with no defects recorded before a pass eight days later, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the age and mixed-use pattern. The clean MOT history means no structural corrosion, exhaust emission failures, or binding calipers were flagged by testers. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the low annual mileage in the final year may indicate longer standing periods that can accelerate tyre sidewall cracking and flat-spotting. Given the absence of advisories, focus the viewing on consumable items not captured by MOT: wiper blades, tyre tread depth across all axles, and fluid condition. The 2025 duplicate test with a no-defect failure warrants a check of the V5C and service book to confirm no suppressed history.
