2014 BMW 520 2.0L Diesel · MA64 BYU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 147,496 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean results in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the current owner is maintaining the car to a high mechanical standard. The single failure recorded in July 2023 appears to be an isolated incident that was rectified immediately, as the retest three days later passed. The mileage pattern reflects high but consistent usage, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. Between the October 2022 test at 116,807 miles and the June 2025 test at 147,496 miles, the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in under three years. This steady accumulation suggests the engine has been used regularly, which often prevents the internal corrosion associated with long periods of standing. However, the total mileage of 147,496 miles places significant wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on high-wear areas that typically degrade at this mileage. While the MOT record shows no structural weaknesses, the condition of rubber components like the control arm bushes and dampers should be checked for cracking or tearing. Given the age and mileage, verifying the thickness of the brake discs and checking for any binding calipers is essential. The lack of recorded advisories for rust or exhaust corrosion in recent years suggests the chassis remains in good condition, despite the high annual mileage.
