2006 BMW Z4 3.2L Petrol · LS56 LSL

This 2006 BMW Z4 shows a generally stable MOT history, with the most recent test in May 2026 resulting in a clean pass. The vehicle has covered approximately 87,201 miles, which, at roughly 4,360 miles per year, is notably low for a twenty-year-old car. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has likely spent significant periods in storage or seen only occasional weekend use, which can lead to different maintenance challenges compared to a daily driver. The MOT record indicates a stable trend overall. While there was a minor advisory for a corroded coil spring in 2025 and tyre wear issues in 2022, these were isolated incidents that appear to have been rectified. The lack of recurring major failures or structural advisories is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age. However, the low mileage means that rubber components, seals, and suspension bushings may have aged through time rather than wear, potentially becoming brittle or perished despite the low odometer reading. The tyre wear noted in 2022, specifically on the inner edges, is a common indicator of suspension geometry misalignment. While the recent tests have been clean, it is worth verifying that the car tracks straight and that there is no uneven tyre wear present today, as this can be a sign of worn suspension components that may not always be flagged during a standard MOT. When inspecting the car in person, you should prioritise checking the condition of all rubber suspension bushes and seals, as these are prone to perishing during long periods of inactivity.
