2014 BMW 428 2.0L Petrol · LR14 KKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend confirmed by the most recent MOT on 28 February 2026 at 50,097 miles. Both front and rear brake discs were recorded as worn but not excessively so, indicating routine wear within acceptable limits. No critical or dangerous defects were found in this test, and the absence of major issues over the past four years suggests consistent upkeep. The pattern shows no signs of deterioration in core mechanical systems, though the recurring tyre wear warrants attention. The mileage accumulation reflects a low annual usage profile—approximately 4,175 miles per year over 12 years—which aligns with light use or potential periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (38,649 to 42,974 miles) spans just under 4,300 miles, while the jump from 2024 to 2025 (42,974 to 47,162 miles) covers roughly 4,188 miles, indicating steady and consistent driving. The 2025 to 2026 interval (47,162 to 50,097 miles) adds about 2,935 miles, suggesting slightly reduced usage in the last year. This consistency supports the notion of careful ownership, though the long intervals between some tests may raise questions about whether interim checks were performed. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the nearside front tyre, which has been flagged twice for edge wear approaching the legal limit. This could indicate alignment issues, suspension misalignment, or uneven load distribution. The repeated brake disc wear, while not excessive, signals that the braking system has seen regular use and should be examined for pad thickness, caliper function, and rotor flatness. Suspension components—including bushes, ball joints, and coil springs—should also be checked, particularly given the age and the history of tyre wear. Finally, inspect the exhaust system and bodywork for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, as older BMWs can develop rust in these areas if not maintained properly.
