2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · M31 NAL

The 2026-02-27 test passed with 116,943 miles, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy; however the preceding 2026-02-26 test at identical mileage recorded a failure with no defects noted, indicating a possible administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical decline, and the overall record shows a stable trend with no recurring defects across the four tests from 2024 to 2026. Over roughly two years the mileage rose from 105,069 miles in February 2024 to 116,943 miles by February 2026, averaging about 5,937 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 9,745 miles per year for a 12‑year‑old 2014 model; the regular annual testing intervals and absence of abrupt mileage spikes indicate consistent use and no evidence of long standing periods or excessive wear accumulation. Buyers should inspect the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear or cracking, as these components often exhibit fatigue after high annual mileage; the brake assembly should be examined for binding calipers, worn discs, and pad thickness, especially given the repeated testing at similar mileage; structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches, and underbody should be assessed, as corrosion can develop unnoticed between MOTs. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the lack of any defect entries across multiple tests suggests that previous owners have maintained the vehicle adequately, but a thorough physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of wear items and structural integrity before purchase.
